Of course.

And that is the marvel of the Friedman/Carr/Reaganistas technique
of disinformation.

Take a point that is perfectly obvious to anyone with an ounce
of common sense - like anyone who's lived by a largish body
of water knows you can't see the other side - and just
throw absurd speculations at it, pseudoscientific statements
until one becomes bored of the tedium of a response.

Throw in these rampant speculations with no basis with
absolutely no calculations of their absolute import and
then let your opponent *disprove* your disinformation.
Wonderful for Friedman/Carr/et al.

A lot of work for the person shooting down the disinformation.

And of course, by now, who gives a damn?

Enough mud is thrown in the waters that most people, even
over something which should be as clear as this, simply throw
up their hands and give up, or find following these tedious
arguments over mundane and totally stupid points so boring
they give up.

So the disinformation wins....

And the Reaganistas continue to say they are infallible....
