Mauna Kea, the Sacred

[TomK]

Orchidlandguy - reread the article and you'll see many attempts to associate the TMT and the telescopes on Mauna Kea with the military and towards the end even talks about non-violence and is implying that the TMT is in someway associated with violence. The whole testimony is supposed to be about opposing a construction permit for the TMT but how come the military are mentioned so often if it's not to associate the two? In my opinion it's an attempt to persuade those against the military to therefore also oppose the TMT.

Since there is no link between the MK telescopes (including the TMT) and the military, it is a dishonest argument and probably better described as a straw man fallacy.
