The fact of the matter is that Gore specifically said that he created the internet. He did not say that he took part in shaping it through legislation, he said that he created it. I can spell it out from the text if you really want me to. This is probabably not what he meant to say, but it is indeed what he said. This is what makes it a "mistatement" or a "verbal gaffe". You are only showing hypocrisy when you consistently deny this. Noone has to prove that he did not create the internet (in any form, the physical connection or the web, surfing, email, IM, etc.), because everyone knows that is not true (even you have stated as much). He had absolutely no part in the creation of any of it. Perhaps in the popularization of it (I am not sure on this point), but that certainly does not allow him to say that he created it by any logical standard. Geo or SJ can not logically say that they created SE4, after all. So, a reasonable line of reasoning would lead a person to the conclusion that Gore either messed up (accidental lie) or he deliberately set out to deceive. Everyone that has been posting here that has not unreasonably denied logic has said that it was most likely an accidental lie, not a deliberate one.
