given that Independent Sage are the principle advisory group to boris johnson and worked with dominic cummings who sat in on their meetings, and whose main criticisms has been that they're too closely aligned with Johnsons policies
maybe you need to add an extra layer of foil to your hat

SAGE and Independent SAGE are two very different organisations.

still, couldn't find a single link between this other group's members and Momentum, apart from King being an ex-science advisor to Blair and Brown's government. Still, not particularly pertinent to the BMJ article

their published advice seems better than the SAGE that's been advising the government when I read through their covid press releases, but that's not really saying much.

in the sense of two organisations with highly similar names and purposes leading to confusion. you forgetting to capitalise "real" shows it's an apt one, as one could easily confuse that you were referencing the genuine IRA instead of the splinter organisation, especially if you were to read your reply out of context as you've done to mine

i love it how easy you are to wind up. I should have thrown in a few usage examples

quotation marks are used in paraphrasing to indicate to the reader that it's you that I'm paraphrasing, rather than making my own statement. It's no different to how regular quotes are used.
to give you a usage example, I could paraphrase your above reply by getting to the essence of it with: "I don't really understand paraphrasing".
Now, I guess you'll claim your ignorance was a deliberate wind-up, but I know from considerable experience you really are that witless. Combined with an infantile and borderline sociopathic refusal to deal with being in error, it's quite the combination
