The BS Asymmetry Principle

» We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion.
In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete,
we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations.
«
Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms, First Series, 1845
