I suppose you could grasp at that straw, but the reality is that grain farms always use diesel and electricity, not just "heavy, oil burning equipment", no matter how much you might think they don't, and that's multiplied by a factor of 10 when you feed that grain to a cow.

You're clearly misunderstanding what I wrote, which is likely because of my poor phrasing.

To phrase it differently:

Climate scientists generally think that cows are an issue, but I do not have the qualification to judge wherever Dojis claim (that they don't matter) has any truth to it, as I'm not informed enough to form an opinion on the matter.

Doji did not claim that modern agriculture isn't harmful, they just addressed cows specifically.
