LOL That projection tactic is a favorite of theirs. No idea really why they do it though some psychologists may suggest they do it do assuage their own guilty feelings. Those that have them, even unconsciously, that is. They have to rationalize their ducking and weaving. They have to struggle to defend the indefensible. Our position, just trying to be as objective as we can be on the facts we know is much easier. We just say it as we objectively see it is.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
