It's not really a counterpoint though? It sounds like an attempt to downplay without reason or cause. He's been questioning everything that's contrary to his POV and often erroneously or at the very least, using only obviously partisan/biased sources or his own 'hot takes' on everything which just happen to be just as predictable.
I mean one can be needlessly contrarian and just "ASK QUESTIONS" but what exactly do you want to address with such behavior?
Person One: Open Source Intelligence is citing this is happening.
Person Two: He's a shill and it's doctored. There is bias and doctored images that occurred with OSINT before.
Person One: He's pretty reliable and cross references or states if he's wrong later.
Person Two: His sources are shills and it's doctored. There is bias and doctored images that occurred with OSINT before.
Person One: Okay? And?
Person Three: You should consider and address Person Two's point.
And I only say this because while it's great to "ASK QUESTIONS" it tends to be a bit overbearing when it's coming largely from a far from Neutral POV and so it's not so much, "Oh hey, lets see what's going on in this war?" as opposed to... "X to Doubt" "X to Doubt" "X to Doubt"
Oh wait, this source agrees with me and is even a more extravagant claim? Imma gonna put this on blast!
Keep in mind, it takes more effort to deal with someone just "ASKING QUESTIONS" then just asking the questions, regardless of validity and that casting doubt where none maybe deserved and obstructing discussion is a tactic of discussion all on its own.
