“But in your post, you cast that reasoning as… wrong?”—I didn’t say that at all.

The claim is that just because X is false doesn’t mean that there aren’t some pretty strong arguments for X that are correct, so long as there are even stronger arguments against X.
I’m curious what made this post confusing. I’ve reread it a few times and I can’t see which part is unclear, but then again this is always hard as the author of the post.
