Could one accuse rightly Richard Carrier of hypocrisy if he was arrived to a Jesus Agnostic Position?

It is clearly not the case, given that OHJ concludes for a mythicist conclusion.

But imagine a different scenario.

Imagine a Richard Carrier who had listed all the items of background as described in the first part of the his magnum opus, and after, bluntly, unexpectedly, he had opted for an Agnostic Position.

The accusation of hypocrisy would be justified by the fact that for each of the items of background it is too much evident that the evidence is going to support a mythicist conclusion. Only read the final remarks for each of them.

Now that I think about it, I realize that Raphael Lataster has made just that!

Yet I don't accuse Lataster of hypocrisy. He has explained where he diverges from Carrier in terms of probabilities etc.

My accusation of hypocrisy is really addressed against a person who has listed and continues to list in the his own blog arguments worthy of being made by mythicist authors (if not made exactly by them!), and yet he continues to be a Jesus Agnostic.

I don't know him, but if he says he is agnostic, I'll take his word for it.

hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case

Is 'agnosticism' inherently noble? Doubtful.

Seems like an odd accusation to make against someone.

I don't know him, but if he says he is agnostic, I'll take his word for it.

For me it is very hard to do so, i.e. "to take his word for it". Not impossible, but hard. I feel as the young rich to whom Jesus has just invited to sell all his property and follow him.
