You mean the straw man argument you fabricated Robmatic?
Apparently I subscribe to something simply because you write it down now? :rotfl:
Don't you know rob, you're supposed to use slabs of stone for that, not the internet.
Now theres a philosophical question eh.
This is a straw man:No. What I have is a scanned newspaper article from 2005 where JD predicts house prices would crash in 2007.
Nothing philosophical about it.
Just cold hard undeniable facts.
Yet here you are denying it.
Bonkers.
This is a point that you are seemingly unable to answer:
As is this:Although I am curious about the degree of relevance that a prediction made in 2005 that house prices would crash in 2007 has with a thread about a newspaper article from 2008.
Sour grapes fall back position? :rotfl: :rotfl:
And this:Funny thing is, for all the genius of JD's only correct prediction thus far, someone following his advice in 2005 and refraining from purchasing then would still be worse off now, despite the fall in house prices. Ouch.
And this:Could you image owning an average value house in 2002 and selling it to rent. How angry would you be by now?... [P]redicted in 2008 that London and the South East would be the most severely affected. How's that one working out, 3 years later?0 -
This is a straw man:
No. Its not. This is:-
Because I claimed no such thing.Well done. You have successfully demonstrated that Saint JD made a prediction in 2005 that turned out to be correct. By induction, you have therefore proved that all of Saint JD's predictions are correct.
This is a point that you are seemingly unable to answer:
No. Its a point I couldn't be bothered answering. On account of the fact that it and variations of the same been discussed time and time and time and time again since the crash.
Those three variations of the Timing game you mean.
As is this:
And this:
And this:

Awesome. This is how you admit defeat in the playground school of debating tactics, right?
No. That was how I point out, again, how "timing" is your ultimate fall back position on all occasions. :rotfl:
Oh. Also that its boring and has been discussed and addressed, at length previously. True fact. 0 -

Right... this is all about the timing.Although I am curious about the degree of relevance that a prediction made in 2005 that house prices would crash in 2007 has with a thread about a newspaper article from 2008.

I'm glad you asked.
This is all about accuracy of prediction. His prediction, in 2005, that house prices would crash in 2007, turned out to be quite accurate.
The "timing" game part is when some embittered so and so starts banging on about selling houses in 2002, instead of just admitting that
the Guy who made the prediction actually nailed it.0 -
What he did was predict house prices would crash in 2007.
The crash began in 2007.
And he made that prediction in 2005.
Clearly, thats nailing it.
oh lulz.
I didn;t realise that 2008 bit. I assumed it was from 2005 when he made his 'prediction'.
So the headline could have been 'jd tells reporter 3 years after the event, that he made a prediction that almost came true?'
Have a got it now?
This is incontrevertable evidence.0 -

It's all about accuracy of prediction. How then, is it only about a prediction made in 2005, and not about all the other ones that he has made over the years? What about the article from 2008 that this thread is about?
One prediction when viewed in isolation means nothing.0
