The John McCain "centrism" fallacy
Just as they did with Rudy Giuliani, journalists are depicting McCain as a "centrist" despite his having foreign policy views as militaristic and extremist as one can get in the mainstream.

  • @WT Hiroshima

    Just for the sake of being provocative on a slow night, consider the mathematics which produced the first nuclear device, and tell me just what monstrous personality could have decreed the fate of Hiroshima without them at his disposal?

    Mechanical aspects of the mathematics were used to do the physics, which enabled the choice to be made by others who understood neither mathematics nor physics. Many more were killed by means requiring only less advanced technology. Mathematics has no essential role.
