“User buttface123 is a dirty liar.” → “I’ve caught user buttface123 lying three times now.” → “I’ve seen user buttface123 say false things in support of their point [three] [times] [now], and that last time was after they’d responded to a comment thread containing accurate info, so it wasn’t just simple ignorance. They’re doing it on purpose.”
Nitpick: The second arrow seems like it’s going in the wrong direction, in that the third statement seems to be making more inferences than the second one. Mostly just because “They’re doing it on purpose.” seems too strong (and also not in the spirit of 10). E.g. they might not have bothered reading the accurate info and still honestly believe their points.
I agree it’s going backwards in that it’s making more inferences than the second, but it’s also exposing those inferences/has the virtue of being more openly cruxy and interface-able. Plausible I should tweak the example anyway, though; thank you for highlighting this one.
