Eh. I don't think it's necessarily so much giving people the benefit of a doubt rather than being extremely sensitive to the niggling details, and being dead set in the route of "if you're going to ruin another person's life/reputation over it, it had better damn well be consistent in the face of even modest levels of scrutiny".

It's fine to haul injustice into the light of day to be dealt with. It isn't okay to maliciously interpret/misrepresent things because you think someone is weird, or they make you uncomfortable, or because you're getting carried away with the political cause of the week.

>GP: abuse of modus ponens Abuse of Transitivity would be closer to the mark I think.
