indeed.
otherwise it's just an exercise in english lit,
a translation of a sort,
not original thought.

without some original thought
the post is entirely without merit, imo.
it would still in essence
just be pasted
in slightly different words.

the end result
is we end up arguing
with someone who was never here,
i.e.-the original source.
how can we debate someone who isn't
the one posting the material ?

and if the poster is just paraphrasing,
then in effect
he has no responsibility for the material,
he's just repeating what he heard.

we've seen that tactic used here before,
plausible deniability so
there's no real interchange,
the net result is still
hit-and-run agit-prop.
