   Absolutely correct.  But then I didn't claim it
   increased the evidence for *my* position.  I said that
   it dilutes *your* authority (and you are an authority
   AFAICS), in particular when you are claiming that some
   particular position of yours is "not extreme".  And
   that's all I said.

It's important to choose precisely between:
- Your words/actions/dissipations are ADJ.
- You are an ADJist.
