#74This has got to be one of the stupidest and (unintentionally) scary responses ever to a serious attempt to question security. - Ad-Hominem attacks on the person raising the questions - No direct refutatio of the specific points raised in the Video - Co-relation and causation confusion (we have found x hence we are effective against the things in the video) - Pathetic attempt at informal tone of voice - Appeal to Stat…
