Luke_A_Somers comments on Why I Am Not a Rationalist, or, why several of my friends warned me that this is a cult

[Luke_A_Somers]

When you believe ~A and someone says ‘You believe A’, what else is there? From most generous to least:

• I misspoke, or I misunderstood your saying something else as saying I believe A.

• You misheard me, or misspoke when saying that I believe A.

• You’re arguing in bad faith

Note that ‘I actually secretly believe A’ is not on the list, so it seems to me that Villiam was being as generous as possible.
