YMMV / Criminal Minds S 3 E 19 Tabula Rasa

• Strawman Has a Point: The killer's lawyer attempts to discredit profiling when Hotchner is on the stand; being a show about heroic profilers, he is treated as both wrong and a bad person for doing so, and Hotchner humiliates him in court in retribution. The problem is that Hotchner doesn't use profiling to learn about the man, he uses Cold Reading, a method more associated with fraudulent psychics and scamming conmen than a supposed scientific method.
