    If it turned out that Newton had a thing for kids, would you advocate for throwing out his laws?

      Well, I’d certainly want someone else to check his work first!

      But even that is beside the point. Gandhi’s achievements aren’t in an inherently rational and objective field. No matter who you are, gravity works the same.

      But instead Gandhi’s field is morals, ethics and politics. Those are inherently subjective and about opinions. If you have a really shitty opinion, then yeah, I’ll question your other opinions.
