yes.. i will list down few logical fallacies:
Fallacy 1
- you are okay with linus talking about nvidia's sales dependency
- but then you say that he neednt mention his own earnings because everyone with "half a brain" knows about it
Fallacy 2
"The whole point of stating that fact was to
demonstrate the difference between "availability and cost" as you put it,
to make it absolutely clear that
reviewers need review samples because of availability and
not because of cost."
Check the italics..he didnt mention anything about
reviewers needing review samples.. he has been pretty much clear about why he does reviews
"to inform the manufacturers consumer base about the product and thus help
them maximise sales".. because the rest can be omitted under "law of half brains".
Add up the above fallacies and check if your arguments are still coherent.
I have also looked at the video and blessed with enough intuition to clearly discern his message, paraphrased below. sorry i dont have "half a brain", so this is the full brains version
"I am doing these reviews for the benefit of nvidia and its consumers as a good samaritan. I have no stake whatsoever in this"
with an additional threat:
"if you dont give me those cards i can still buy them (and then god save you)"
followed by an appeal
"internet peasants help me, your benevolent lord, wage a battle on the evil corporation"
internet peasants:
"Linus is a good samaritan with no vested interest and look how emotionally charged he is, we should be helping him"
