You guys are still wrong, because you mistakenly think words/talk matters. I have had much better luck adapting the scientific method to almost everything in life... especially in my profession.
I automatically assume everything is false (or a lie) until PROVEN to be true by facts, results, tests, measurements, etc. Moreover, the proof must itself be verifiable in some way.
Following this methodology cuts through so much crap it's not even funny. The bottom line is that arguments are worthless noise. Only results matter, and those results must be verifiable (or reproducible in science).
It is ironic that almost all "science" these days is impossible to reproduce... it attempts to use science to add a veneer of credibility to political advocacy. But that is another story...
