Scroll.in is not a valid news source. Also, consider the scenario before UID. The food and money wasn't even reaching the correct people. The guy who climbed a tree would probably have gotten kicked around by a bunch of babus and still not got his due. There are problems with every new tech, but if you criticize everything it just makes no sense. Give credit where credit is due.

As far as I am concerned, release first, patch later worked wonderfully for UID, and it will probably be similar for GST.

Of course, the classic ad hominem fallacy.

This right here is exactly the problem. Trying to find out a tech solution to a problem which is not caused by technology.

Easy to say that when your life doesn't depend on it.

That's not ad hominem.


The commentator discarded the data presented by Scroll.in because s/he feels that Scroll.in is not a valid source. Classic ad hominem, in which the rebuttal was made by pointing to the name of the source - not the contents of it.


Discarding an argument due to the source is ad hominem, discarding data presented by an unreliable source is not.


Scroll is much better news source than many. It's not dailymail. Most of the Indian media just parrot government line. http://m.ndtv.com/india-news/arun-shouries-speech-on-media-f...


Sroll is an opinion blog, not a news source. I am being serious, out of the articles on the site, ~80% are pure opinion pieces.


Maybe, but the ones on demonetisation and Aadhaar were not opinion pieces and came with plenty of citations to third-party news sources.
