Ah, lovely. You find him credible, therefore he is credible.

This is starting to sound like the religious discussions...

Even if he is a credible source, it does not make him an authoritative or expert source. If President Bush were on trial and you brought this guy in as an "expert witness", I can assure you that his testimony would promptly be thrown out of court upon legal objections (not an expert witness).

heheh you still dont get it do you... i already said you were right and that hackworth had no real source. also he as for your example, he could be an expert witness if it was a military related, cause we all know how experienced bush is.

The credibility of Bush as an expert witness is entirely independent of the credibility of Hackworth as an expert witness.

Your logic seems to be, Hackworth qualifies as an expert because he knows more than Bush - I'm sure you see the problem inherent in that.
