I frankly don’t care what you believe, but I do care about the ability of the general population to understand reasoning and logic. To that end, please understand that what you’re arguing is not a counter-example like you seem to think it is. It’s an argumentum ad populum - you’re saying this must be true because elite cycling teams are doing it. This is not a proof. It’s not even evidence, you’re not even citing something specific enough to call it that.

Again, believe what you want just make sure you understand that you’re not making a sound argument.



You should probably look into the supplements I’m referring to before launching into a diatribe.


You seem to think that would affect my statement. Pay attention to what I’m actually saying. I have no opinion on the supplement. It’s still invalid reasoning regardless of whether the supplement is effective.
