Spoken like a true defender of technical incompetence.
Erroneous labeling only distracts from any further argument.
When the author clearly doesn't even know/understand the difference between "pesticide" and "herbicide", why trust/bother with anything further they have to say?
Monsanto may well be a disciple of Satan but a proven lack of basic insight on the issue doesn't help validate the opinion.

Herbicide is a subclass of pesticide.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesticide
> Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests.[1] This includes herbicide, insecticide, nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insect repellent, animal repellent, microbicide, fungicide, and lampricide.

I stand corrected.
Still, "herbicide" is a more specific and accurate description of Roundup.

You are still intentionally ignoring any and all spillover effects of an herbicide into other types of -cides.

Disregarding a 100 page report because it uses "pesticide" as the general term containing both actual pesticides and herbicides seem disingenuous.
What it was designed for often has a few unintended consequences like many products do, chemically, electrically, or mechanically.
