It represents the opinions and views of a couple Amish men that were interviewed.
Yes, OK, the interviewer was a woman, the respondents were Amish. I missed that detail. The full quote from your link with a question from the interviewer, acknowledgment and approval from the Amish man, was:
Sharyl (interviewer): So, it's safe to say there was a whole different approach here in this community when coronavirus broke out than many other places?
Calvin Lapp (Amish man): Absolutely.
You're attempting to apply an absolute whole to a general group/class label. In other words, you're presenting sophistry as an argument to disqualify these men as the Amish
My comment was the exact opposite. I was trying to to say the question and acknowledgement by the Amish man in the article about COVID herd immunity reflected the opinion of one, single, individual Amish person, who is certainly entitled to his own opinion as a member of his Amish community, but not a general group or class:
"Her comment is certainly true for her personally, perhaps for her community. Is it true for all Amish communities, 10’s of thousands of Amish individuals across the Midwest? I doubt it." - HOTPE
You, in your post tried to extrapolate that into a broad based concept for all Amish, as if the respondent was some kind of Amish Pope, speaking as a leader for all Amish, which he's not:
the Amish who purposely exposed themselves in mass
