Bad comparisons confuse history with emotion to the detriment of clear thinking and public awareness

Karl Jones (July 2, 2020).

Jacobs, this sloppy writing is not helping you get what what want, namely lavish praise.

Dipping your fists in the history bucket and flinging "Jay Gould" and "Robber barons" against the wall only makes a mess (left for others to clean up, or not).

John Yoo — the subject of the article, who you must name and quote if you want my praise, indeed if you want to reduce my contempt — is no Jay Gould and no robber baron.
