>>Tom is plenty credible.

Tom may be credible to YOU -- but you are not the important audience here. When Tom makes claims here, he is "preaching to the choir".

The important thing is whether Tom is credible to people who do not already agree with him. And if he gets caught making false claims like he did here, his credibility could suffer a serious blow.

And incidentally -- my original comments about the hogs-and-cats argument were directed to Tom Burke, not Tom Crutchfield. Then Tom C. jumped in and started making his false claims. So Tom C. has only himself to blame if his feelings got hurt from being caught out.
