no, he's actually advocating it & acting like it never fails. i said that even more than one BC method doesn't add up to 100% (& i'm pretty over his use of five-dollar words):
"Lest we beleaguer the point; no you will never get to 100%. But then again hard drives in computers rarely crash; it doesn't mean you don't keep backup copies of your data on multiple media if you want to protect it.
Just because one can do something doesn't mean one should do something. Thus, bringing full circle, the concept that just because humans can engage in sexual congress with each other doesn't make it a wise idea nor one free from the responsibilities associated with that action. No amount of rationalization after the fact negates the fact that planning ahead and being preventative in multiple ways is the wiser of the courses should one wish to avoid being pregnant. It a simple cause and effect matrix; if you don't wish for the effect to present itself then you should avoid the cause. One cannot decouple the possibility of a burn from sticking their hand in a fire no matter the precautions taken, but if you must stick your hand in the fire then taking every step possible to minimize the chances of being burned is the prudent course of action. One also cannot, after having burned their hand by voluntarily sticking said hand in a fire, claim to be a victim of the fire or those who set it."
