Did that statement really need to read as: 'Exposure to all the *harmful* chemicals also causes many health problems.' for you to understand it?

It is an 'if, then' statement and as such, you must understand that it is not 'nonsense'. The 'if' part may be false, though, rendering the conclusion useless. I think we agree that, the claim that people need to change their oil every 3,000 miles or on some time interval is nonsense promoted by auto repair people.

Your reading > comprehension seems to be on a level with your reasoning abilities. Shame. He made several casual observations. I wonder which one of those statements rang true and got you so bent out of shape. I'm guessing this one: "Some people want to feel superior, or it could be they want reinforcement of their own beliefs, because they are not sure of those beliefs." |
