I'm not being disingenuous. The topic was of intellectual, historical interest - about JFK. Who did not release the documents. They are just documents about JFK.
Somehow it is changed to a demand for documents from the current President in the middle of an election season.
If you are interested in all admission records, there is no reason to single out Obama... say you think all Presidents should have their admission records released.
This is more like 'look at this interesting snippet of code from CP/M' resulting in yelling about binary blobs in some modern OS. Totally irrelevant and political.
No, the topic was presidential college admissions. This one, because it was JFK, was historical. It also was political, because we were talking about a politician, a fact that does not change whether it was a current or past politician.
And your analogy is wrong too: It is like saying here is code from CP/M, and someone saying "how do modern OSes handle that feature?". That question is not advocacy for new OSes, it is a question of comparison between eras.
You are trying to ascribe motive and sinister desires to a neutral statement.
