Check out the FAIR/MAD thread going on...

Interestingly, Brant kept defending his obviously misleading reference to Coe throughout the thread.

Not surprising in the least.

Smoke and mirrors, and when all else fails, a really good tap dance.

This was the thread that really disillusioned me about Brant -

While I have no doubt that some of his misleading statements are simply the result of confirmation bias or a variant interpretation, the fact that he refuses to back down when something is so clearly problematic about his statement leads me to suspect that it is a deliberate choice. Sometimes I think cerrtain apologists justify being misleading because they truly believe the Book of Mormon is true and future evidence WILL validate that belief, so it's ok to give other believers reassurance in the meantime, even if it's misleading.

In the real world, that's called lying. I'm pretty sure it's okay in Happy Valley though.
