I mean that Deby is perfectly capable of argumenting on her own
authority - there's no reason to drag the (undocumented) opinion
of any Argentines into the picture once again.

I'm getting really tired of arguments degenerating into constant
"I just met <insert famous Argentine> and he patted me on
the back and told me I was right" style comments.

The class of Argentine milongueros is like the bible: the corpus
is so large that it is usually possible to find separate quotes
to support both sides of any argument (at least arguments made
by people who've been dancing successfully over the years ;) ).

Perhaps I'm only a worthless peon, but I do prefer *reasoned*
debate.
