Ewik claims because the same guy says it isn't as bad as it used to be,
that means he now endorses it.

EF never was strong in the logic department, that's for sure. So this
might be an excuse to overlook his specious claims if not for the fact
that the only claims he usually makes are of a specious nature.

I don't buy his rendering without alternative support from a reliable
source. I've yet to see any real evidence to support that claim. Only
the same hand-waving about Thurrot not acting like he was about to
vomit in a later review. But what else is new from FUDdy besides not
supporting his claims?
