Look, I’m gonna be blunt here: Don’t give us that “both sides” bullshit on this one. Luskin got caught. The question from @Faizal_Ali was “would anyone care to defend DI on this one?” not “what do you think of this issue?”

@colewd _would you like to defend Luskin on this one?_

My guess is “no”, since your response was to…not respond. But have enough respect to everyone else here to at least say that instead of blowing smoke.
