(States there is no diff between the M1 and M14, but picks one over the other anyway.<br /><br />He has sentences that do not belong in the paragraphs they are in. (And bad, wannabee-Yoda lead-ups to some of them.)<br /><br />Uses “of course” and “Many have said” (etc.) when making a point he can't back up.<br /><br />Good news: there were footnotes. Bad news: he quoted mostly the same source for most of his points.<br />Worse news: that source was Boston T Party. Worst news: he quoted the guy so often it felt like reading a rehash of Boston T Party.<br /><br />Then there is this little gem:<br />“I restricted the field to the weapons that I thought were the best.”<br />This is how egomaniacs try, and fail, to look humble.Clint1911http://ambivalentskeptic.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
