    Those comments aren’t contradictory in the slightest.

    Read the comment again and stop being deliberately obtuse.

    If someone said “food is served hot” then yeah, they’re right, most food is. But plenty of food isn’t.

      “Just plain wrong” is not a proper response to “food is served hot”

        It is if people were to say “food is served hot” as a gospel rule and that no food is served not like that. Like they do with Churchill’s “History is written by the victors” quote.

        Come on, this isn’t hard to follow. Read the comments properly.

        You’ll notice I never said victors never write history. I said they usually do. “just plain wrong” refers to people treating it as a gospel rule. Read.

          Nobody says that as a gospel rule. They mention it in certain contexts when it’s fairly plain, and then you people attempt to frame it as, well like here, just a need to demonstrate some dick waving really. I would love to see some of you master debaters try this shit with Churchill, if that was possible.

            People are arguing until they’re blue in the face that it’s a gospel rule. Look at the guy who practically wrote a whole essay and refuses to back down. Even going as far as to say a children’s book series is an example of history being written by the victors (what’s that all about???)

            People do believe it’s 100% true.

            Use your eyes, troll.
