71. If you don't judge instances on a case by case basis, you're not analyzing information properly. A "history of lying"...

...actually means nothing other than establishing some sort of suspicion. That suspicion says nothing about the actual truth of the situation at hand. (Is it really necessary to state this difference?) Beyond that, what does "race" have to do with anything in this? The information contained in the statement in the article has no "race". (It sounds more like your position is straying into the realm of something prejudicial instead of analytic.) Still beyond that, the relative wealth of the person has no relationship to the truth of the information in the article, etc.

There is so much wrong with your statement from a data analytic position that you probably should just delete it. But you might want to examine it carefully since it seems to expose what you wish to substitute for the idea of truth in argumentation.
