Asking Leftist to think logically is waste of time. If they were logical thinkers, they would have abandoned socialism many decades ago.
Logic has little to do with it. They are generally creatures of emotion and impulse, reciting what they have been told to believe.
This is why it is such a good technique, because they have a complete absence of doctrinal information. The proponents of MMGW have gone to great lengths to avoid even the suggestion of a negative case, attempting to keep their “research” in the realm of magic, not science.
Like stage magicians, they have an endless number of props and gimmicks, to pretend they have magic, but the truth is that they only have sleight of hand and other tricks, like statistics, to confuse.
