Even when it comes to someone like me, who is very strongly anti-CCP, it definitely irks me a bit. Mostly because making strong accusations like that without any reasoning other than “they can, so they definitely do it” only makes that position look weaker and more difficult to align with. Why make up those things and accusations, when there are so many other valid points for criticism there? There is a reason for why “the boy who cried wolf” is a very commonly referenced parable.
