If you pre-emptively have contempt for something by association rather than investigating it on its merits, it seems you risk missing out on any information you have there.

Maybe I disagree with your view on this, so I reflexively reject the rest of the comments you make on HN, even if one of them was insightful and could really help me. That might be a little dumb, so I would try not to do that, personally. I get if you would do differently tho, seems like you might from what you say here. ;p;) xx

I posted a couple different sources on this, but I'm glad this post is the one that got upvoted to front page, because it's a good compilation of the various resources about this newly released footage: explanatory discussion with George Knapp, actual footage, Twitter thread where announced, transcript of footage.

Hahaha, that's exactly my point. They doubted him when he was true because of his reputation. Hahaha, thank you so much!! :p ;) xxx

So you completely ignore the reputation of whoever is trying to convince you of something?

And you completely ignore the content and judge everything based on reputation? Well I've got a great reputation, why don't you trust me!? :p ;) xx You must be so gullible. But I don't think so, I think you just take it to the extreme. i don't discount reputation. i treat it separately. there's reputation here, and information here. and i examine each separately. what i try to do anyway. can be tricky tho ;p ;) xx

I skip all the middle-men and assume everyone is wrong, regardless of reputation OR content.
