“‘What’ is more important than ‘Who’ says ‘What’. To be validated by the majority does not exactly make an authority. A lot may influence the majority—sentiment, bribe, spell, drug, shady logic etc. However, from a rational perspective, truth is truth regardless of who speaks it.
And when the basis for the validation of a truth is because a public figure says so, I say that truth is wishy-washy.”
Hagios A. Akins
