    @zephyreks lol I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you have to jump through to arrive at your worldview. For you to think that in that moment, while being questioned by a reporter about a Chinese balloon and the collection of data that his immediate thought was I need to justify the budget… It’s just astounding.

      It’s a press conference. Do you think you can make it to General without press training?

                  Because you don’t know what you’re talking about?

                    @zephyreks No, because you’d just make up some kind of reason why a Brigadier General would lie or obfuscate the truth instead of following Occam’s Razor and understanding that no more assumptions than necessary are reasonable to answer a question. You pulling some bullshit out of your ass about budgetary concerns is a step beyond Occam’s razor. That’s why I say you don’t see reason. You’re relying on hypotheticals to justify your position instead of the facts right in front of your face.
