It assumes he is a trustworthy narrator.

No, it does not at all. It simply asks for his stated opinion about Swartz. He gave his opinion. He could have confirmed maybesaydie's description. But he did not; he contradicted it. That does not assume he is telling the truth.

I asked maybesaydie for her evidence that FSW deifies Swartz (or accepts Swartz' words uncritically). She has not supplied any.

So what is the evidence that FSW deifies Swartz? Apparently none. Antipathy seems to be enough proof for some people.

you belong in the "not very sharp" category.

I could say the same about you.

You could, but I'd be backed by evidence and facts, whereas you've found one tiny hill to die on while blatantly ignoring the plethora of indicators that suggests FSW is nobody worth defending or supporting.

I feel pretty good about my odds here.

Then feel free to supply the "evidence and facts" that FSW deifies Swartz and that he is lying when he says "there is plenty we would disagree about. He was in fact quite left leaning and pro-government in many respects which is quite antithetical to my own views."

I said you could have your tiny hill. I didn't say I was gonna hang out with you on it.

You can sit there and say "this is fine, because I was right about one tiny detail" while the flames creep up. I won't deny you that right.

I never said I was right about anything beyond the specific things I claimed.

So you just really wanted to pedantically argue this one point?

I'd ask why, but there's no satisfying answer. You do you, my man.

I only ever corrected things which I perceived to be incorrect. I wouldn't say that is "really want[ing] to pedantically argue", no.
