Although the error can be more subtle than might appear on the surface. Granted that DaveScot being a dunce doesn't directly refute any particular claim he makes. However, the knowledge that someone is a hardcore involuntary creationist DOES influence how his statements might be interpreted in a general sense.
And in DaveScot's world, calling someone an idiot is 'ad hominem' ONLY when DaveScot agrees with the idiot. When DaveScot agrees with the name-caller, then of course the idiot label is an objective fact-based observation.
I wonder how he'd respond to the statement that "you're dumber than manure and you're lucky you look better with your head up your ass, BUT in this particular case you happen to be right"?
