On being a nasty skeptic

[robinturner]

I think I need a T-shirt which reads "If I dispute your proof, that doesn't mean I automatically disagree with your conclusion." The problem is that, as wearable slogans go, it is not exactly snappy. Maybe I should just go for "Your logic is embarrassing," but then I would need a way to conceal it quickly when dealing with people who control things like whether my contract will be renewed.

How about "Just because you talk out of your arse, it doesn't mean you are wrong"?

Not very snappy, either, I suppose.

How about: "your logic is not like our earth logic"

If people take offense you can just confess to being a Buffy fan in order to diffuse the situation.

My attempt to clue people in that I was critiquing, not disagreeing, by saying: "Have you ever considered the advanatages of The Devil?"

I stopped because nobody got it.
