An Objectivist is one who likes to appear intelligent and logical by refering to the required use of scientific data, DBT's, ABX's and "measured performance" by their opponents, when debating with anyone who disagrees with them, but who always reponds to direct questions with claims of, 1) It's not clear to me, 2) That's Ad Hominem or Strawmen arguement, 3) What about Occam's Razor or Buridan's Donkey? and 4) Just about anything else, like attacking grammer usage or dates of historical facts, rather than ever answering the actual question posed or ever admitting they're wrong!Thetubeguy1954
