Let me know more about the argument against VPN +tor
You have already read the whole argumentation of the anti_tor+vpn fanatics (yep, they exist): The tor devs don’t recommend it.
What they will never tell you is that the devs say it as general advice for those who don’t know what they are doing.
The (real) points against it can be summed up in two, that certain unusual configurations (that you would never apply accidentally or as a newbie) are insecure, and that vpn providers might not be reliable.
Thanks , yea that’s what I thought
They probably are referring to this:

Can I use a VPN with Tor?
Generally speaking, we don’t recommend using a VPN with Tor unless you’re an advanced user who knows how to configure both in a way that doesn’t compromise your privacy.
You can find more detailed information about Tor + VPN at our wiki.
