Looks like we'll have to find out who's right.
those arguments from both sides seems to be mutually exclusive. One of them must be wrong!
Its a lose-lose situation, isnt it? You either give one side the benefit of the doubt, the other, or some combination in between.
Ah, in the case you might be splitting the vote, I see.
Very fair point. You have to throw both against each other and see what stick.
Well, either way it's one "right" trumping another.
Well, only one side gets that opportunity at the moment. Would you rather that be the case, that neither side be able to do it, or that both sides be able?
Fair is something that works for both parties - maybe it doesn't exist in this case.
Taking sides of definitely a question of the lesser of two evils on this one.
Your view is so opposite of mine that only one of us will be proven right and I like my odds
