Quoted or held

The most serious error in reading an archive like this is to take a view he quoted in order to refute as a view he holds. These are the answers in which he states someone else's view to discuss it.

Indexed so far: 259 of 1,859 recordings (1,904 answers, 2014 to 2025). Anything below may change as the rest are indexed. Limits of the data

226answers quote or may quote a view. They are marked on their page and never counted as his position.

1,081answers carry a checked position in his own words, with the sentence and its moment beside it.

Every stance is treated as quoted until his words make it his. "May quote" means a reviewer was not sure: read it as quoted.
