I'm not arguing a point, I'm just checking if some idealists might have been correct in disqualifying an argument, just because it came from someone affiliated with Cato.
From the lack of good answers, I infer they just couldn't answer the argument -- and lacked the integrity to admit that. Not exactly surprising, for people with fixed political world views.
(Being called "troll" by a favorite author hurt. :-)
What makes you think that think tanks are different in this respect? Heck - what makes you think that think tanks are only on one side of this issue?
> But, certainly, credible references as to why you can ignore arguments form top think tanks would be interesting?
Yes, if you've got any.
Hint - "they got paid" isn't one. Very few people work for free, and their record is pretty bad.
A "think tank" is just one mechanism for funding folks making arguments. There are many others.
