I've pondered this before. If a thief tells you that a all men deserve a right to own their own possessions and be secure in their ownership. Would you say he was wrong? Sure, he's a hypocrite but is it not true what the thief said?
Do you evaluate everything based on how you can label the people who made it or just this?
I agree that the expression is tired but it is not wrong. The context has changed.
The argument goes:
Premise 1) Person came up with Idea.
Premise 2) I do not like Person.
Conclusion) I do not like Idea.
It's not actually a good argument against Idea, it's just a preference.
You are absolutely right, even though you were downvoted at least three times in under a minute for some reason.
Probably, assuming you upvoted. The comment was at -1 when I read this.
