The problem with the sources in the OP [It is a problem with the book he quoted. The author doesn’t understand what a balanced debate is. Let alone how to win one.] is that it takes specific examples and presents them as on broad brush stroke. I don’t mind the polemic. And maybe the overkill is warranted in the eyes of the OP. But it kills all the nuance in the original sources. The Mechabrim had different things on their minds when they wrote these statements. Now again, poetic license allows this in a polemic. But I get the feeling that the truth of the matter is not being adressed.
