Excuses

He has this refrain that these guys are conspiracy theorists who "know too much about the data" and it would be like debating the smartest flat earther, he'd be overwhelmed by bs.

Funny because I thought that was his M.O.

And also makes this appeal that they at rude racists which never stopped him before

And he has no issue debating weaker people with the same positions so I think it is cowardice
