Ah, well, I'm not being intellectually dishonest because I'm not saying that it is a fact that everyone thinks that incest causes genetic deformities. I'm saying that I'm under the impression that most people think that incest cause genetic deformities. My claim is that in my observations, the majority of people that I've seen that make comments about incest do it in conjuntion with comments about genetic deformities. My claim is about the observed public opinion that I've seen.
I even asked you: "Do you really think that most people don't think that incest contributes to the possibility of there being birth defects?" If you don't think so, then it would have been helpful to respond so that I could know where you are coming from.
