I've read the article you've posted: it does not refute the fucking datapoint provided, it literally DOES NOT EVEN MENTION MISTRAL AT ALL.

so all I can tell you is to take your pearlclutching tantrum bullshit and please fuck off already

  • high willingness to accept painfully inexact responses
  • high tendency to side with authority when given no information
  • low ability to distinguish "how it is" from "how it seems like it should be"

  • indignant consent-ignoring gesture if they're not

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
