but be like, “let me think for myself whether that is correct”.
From my perspective, describing something as “honest reporting of unconsciously biased reasoning” seems much more like an invitation for me to think for myself whether it’s correct than calling it a “lie” or a “scam”.
Calling your opponent’s message a lie and a scam actually gets my defenses up that you’re the one trying to bamboozle me, since you’re using such emotionally charged language.
Maybe others react to these words differently though.
This comment is such a good example of managing to be non-triggering in making the point. It stands out to me amongst all the comments above it, which are at least somewhat heated.
Sure if you just call it “honest reporting”. But that was not the full phrase used. The full phrase used was “honest reporting of unconsciously biased reasoning”.
I would not call trimming that down to “honest reporting” a case of honest reporting! ;-)
If I claim, “Joe says X, and I think he honestly believes that, though his reasoning is likely unconsciously biased here”, then that does not at all seem to me like an endorsement of X, and certainly not a clear endorsement.

It’s a pretty clear way of endorsing something to call it “honest reporting”.
