Sceptics beliefs ?

[The General]

Were we meant to share.

Don't think it's possible.

[The General]

I wonder why the broadcaster who became famous in the lexicon of sceptic belief has fallen out of favour ... maybe something to do with throwing a spanner into it all by going internationally public with the accusation that Amaral lied to her about the dog evidence used to accuse the McCanns.

Now that really flies in the face of the sceptic belief that the perjurer, Amaral ...

• is an honourable man despite being caught out in a Portuguese court and in the court of public opinion telling life changing whoppers
• that while "dogs don't lie" (they've not met mine) ... humans are capable of misinterpreting what they are saying and despite the caveats of the dog owner put their own particular spin on it.
  In this instance the lie forcefully complained of was used to incriminate innocents in a criminal act and to destroy their reputations.
  I don't think it comes much more serious than that.

I think you give her too much credit. She is just another bit part player in this ongoing saga, along with many other people. The fact that she has performed such a dramatic volte face says more about her as a person than it does the facts, you know, post the nice, little payout from Netflix....cherrr ching.

Can you share a downloaded book?

I'm sure some knowledgeable chap would know how to do it.

Why was she a poster girl for sceptics for so long if 'she is just another bit player' ?  You can't have it both ways and I'm not too sure she did do a 'volte face' as I am sure I have seen her dismay at being lied to alleged on fora from quite some time back.

Might I remind you that Amaral benefited from the Netflix "cherr ching" along with everyone else ... if he thought that was a damage limitation exercise ... it failed miserably.  I think until he drops that body language thing of sliding out his words from the side of his mouth appearing on television is counter productive.

The sooner everyone comes to terms with the fact that this is an ephemeral cottage industry, the better. Of course they're all at it, all of the current talking heads - Sutton, Amaral, Sandra, the McKenzie, anyone else they care to roll out. It's a cracking little earner for all concerned. And what better way to stay in the game than to swap sides occasionally and supply some dirt?
As for 'damage limitation'...I doubt that very much. The man is picking through the rubble still. I doubt his ego is calling the shots - his bank manager will be though.

Well I only read three paragraphs of the preface of this Reis book, came across this sentence and that to,d me all I need to know about it.  A load of hogwash, in short,

“Someone has already said that the truth of those parents has more force than the truth revealed by the "Messiahs" of monotheistic religions, Christians, Jews or Muslims”.

Why would that sentence put you off what Reis has to say.

Because it is complete hyperbolic nonsense.

Some may dispute that reading here.

hyperbolic

adjective
1.
relating to a hyperbola.
2.
(of language) deliberately exaggerated.


I thought you supported Kate.  I think Kate was telling the truth through and through.  Because it is so current and we can see her lips moving I would agree with more "force than the truth revealed by the "Messiahs" of monotheistic religions, Christians, Jews or Muslims”
