tell me, what makes this rating at all justifiable or substantive
I never said it's "justifiable or substantive" so I can't really tell you that. You might need to ask Lauda.
Yet you are perfectly willing to dedicate your time to deflect from this fact by sliding the topic to inconsequential side topics, or anything you can use to attack. That is a slick way to word it.
You like the fact that I am being attacked, but you don't want to explicitly support the abuse because it might harm your own reputation, so you refuse to take any position on the matter. Now why would anyone call you disingenuous?
