    I think the people downvoting you might not be familiar with the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.

      No, they are familiar with it. He just used it wrong. The idea of the entire fallacy is that there can’t be qualifications to being a “true” Scotsman because the definition of a Scotsman is simply “someone who was born in Scotland”.
