We were always careful to say that while the survey involved 12,000 abstracts, the 97 percent consensus was among the ~4,000 abstracts that took a position on the cause of global warming (plus the roughly 1,400 of 2,100 self-rated papers taking a position). And we were careful to point out that the consensus was that ‘humans are causing global warming.Translation: "We lied, but we were careful how we did it."

Where we come from, that's called "Barracks Lawyering."
Such extreme, technical definitions, and the arguments derived from them were the hallmark of Barracks Lawyering. Because they were never based on precedent or even reality, the arguments would not stand up even for a minute in the real court, but they sure sounded good back in the barracks.
What a bunch of morally bankrupt people!
