To call them "feels true arguments" is disingenuous. Following your logic, most of the discussions/arguments on this board (particularly in N&D) are "feels true arguments."
Here's one for example.

Kyl's only committed to serve until Jan. 3.
I suspect that her need to not become too controversial a pick for that seat is exactly why she didn’t play along with Trump’s fraudulent claims.
Sometimes discussions need to involve analysis and logical inferences by the poster.
If you wanna disengage that's fine, but don't respond to me with your usual condescending BS.
Yeah, we all have to depend on theorizing to a degree. I do draw a distinction between using it to say “maybe person x did a thing because strategy” and using a “this feels true to me” moment to play down or dismiss a clear and consequential misbehavior like this.
Here is an example of why I draw that distinction: just this morning I was reading a thread by someone who is a frequent guest on several network shows, wherein they laid out a litany of grievances against the way several of those shows handle the booking of guests. This went so far as to include calling out several hosts (I can’t remember if one was Chris Matthews or Chris Hayes) by name. It’s certainly not the first time I’ve read someone who wrote or complained about their experiences as a network guest. And there are hundreds of people out there who have had a tenure as ‘frequent dropin.’
So where are the disgruntled reveals about preapproved questions? Especially right now, as everyone is dunking on Fox News about it. If you are mad over your experience at MSNBC, or just care about the dishonesty of it all, now is the time to wipe the smug look off their faces. I mean, FOX NEWS felt the need to announce disciplinary action, so it’s not like it’s nothing. Whether it feels absolutely true or not, the fact of the matter is that someone got caught, and no one else stood up to say “yeah, about that...”
That’s why that distinction is key for me. The difference between speculating about someone’s
intent, and using that feeling to assume Fox’s intentional malpractice is the industry’s ‘business as usual.’
