Bobby, it might have happened- the difference is that Jenkins would have used facts and figures in his column- an addition which Moore probably lumps with Crossfit as being "stupid."
.
Seriously- go and rack and stack Jenkins' columns and Moore's-- compare which one uses facts and figures, and which one doesn't; which one uses coherence in making an argument, and one that sounds like a coffee house blog rant.  You might not agree with Jenkins, but one ( not you, but one) can argue those rationally. You can't rationally argue against the ramblings of a talk show host whose proof is the co-ramblings of a conspiracy theorist who calls her show.
