I can't state
this more emphatically: If Jackie's story is partially or wholly untrue,
it doesn't validate the reasons for disbelieving her.

Even if it turns out that
the UVA truthers were right, their epistemology is warped by ideology.
Lack of justification offset by brute luck.

"You're not still pushing a fake rape story? VICTIM BLAMER!"
"Questioning the story makes you a TRUTHER! And it doesn't matter if you're right, your ideology is wrong!" Etc.
The post has more on how the "Let's really stick it to those fraternity asshole males!" gang-rape-initiation story has come apart, but I thought that demonstration of "EVEN IF IT'S A LIE YOU MUST BELIEVE!" ought to be stuck at the top here.
