I referred to it as an analogy.
I assume you missed that. Or are not familiar with how analogies work - they're like something else, but also different. Because yes, it is not 'about' the standard of proof, but in some way is, IMO, comparable enough to the concept of standard of proof to be useful.
Or not. And if one does not think an analogy useful, one can just pass it by and avoid writing obtuse and tendentious ten-page screeds.
Your assumption is erroneous.
As for your opinion, well, probably good that you admit it's opinion, thus FWIW (regarding which I will withhold my opinion of its worth, consistent with my effort to focus on information more than opinion).
I do not need repeated advice about what information to share. I do wonder, however, why you repeat the vitriolic characterizations (if the object is to insult, I got that twenty or thirty slurs ago) . . . and "tendentious," really? Hard, very hard, to grasp how observations about the difference between what underlies decisions to increase the level of inquiry/investigation, versus what guides outcome decision-making, involves partisan bias or is a controversial position.
If you are not interested in better understanding the important difference between routine administrative processing (which most of the forum is about and which I do not address much anymore) versus adjudicative administrative proceedings (which has been my focus here for a number of years, largely limited to issues involving PRs at risk for negative dispositions), that's your choice, not mine. I was, after all, explicitly posting for "those who offer informational help here . . ."
By the way, unlike my previous post (which was to address the misinformation referenced in quotes, again for "those who offer informational help here"), this part is for you:
As an analogy, describing the level of scrutiny and standard of proof as analogous badly misses the point, confuses what invites investigatory processing (elevated scrutiny) versus decision-making guidelines, especially in regards to RO compliance.
