Master scipio I am a master of Greek. The word "hypocrite" comes from the Greek and applies to the mask used by the actors on stage. To depict different characters they used to change their mask that portrays that character.
No it doesn't depent upon which dictionary you use. It depends upon the etymology of the word, which I have just given. If you study the origin of words then you are more likely to be able to use them correctly.
Someone who acts in a hypocritcal fashion is to me a hypocrite. They are a phony and full of crap.
Someone who claims gunshots fired inside a room cannot be heard outside where there is no background noise and cops are intently watching and listening is full of crap. Such person is claiming such SOLELY because of an agenda. The only people making that claim are those with the agenda of suggesting it is plausible Jeremy is innocent and that Sheila wasn't dead before police arrived.
Worse though there are phonies who are full of crap who contend gunshots would definitely be heard by Sheila and definitely wake her up but would not be heard by cops in the house. The walls are unable to be penetrated when cops are in the house an doutside but can be penetrated by sound when cops are not around and only Sheila is there. Dogs barking outside would wake up all but shots fired inside could not penetrate woindows.
What is the common theme? That when it suits Jeremy supporters sound travels through the windows and walls and doors like normal but when it doesn't suit them each room is soundproof.
It seems to me that hypocrite is a kind description and other indeed come to mind for those making such claims.
The same hypocrites also create straw men arguments and try to pretend their opponents are the ones doing this. For instance trying to pretend their opponents suggest sound would not have penetrated Sheila's room. But that is not the claim at all it is a strawman. The actual claim is that some people sleep through loud noises without waking up so it is possible she slept through the noise possible she woke up, there is no way to know. Moreover, some peopel wake up but go right back to sleep and don't bother to get out of bed to investigate. Last it is ignored that it was suggested a moderator was used which contrary to claims reduces the sound of the shots to that made by a cap gun. There is a difference between a cap gun and 22 regardless of claims otherwise.
Hypocrite or biased distorting clown? In this case both refer to the same thing but the former sounds kinder.
