Not helping!

No, it is not. You asked (with some implied doubt) where we disagree. I answered as best I could. As I stated, we are probably not going to resolve our disagreement so I will leave it at that, with no disrespect intended beyond, as Robin often describes, the inevitable disrespect implicit in the actual fact of disagreement.

The "Not helping!" parts didn't explain where we disagree (what are the facts I believe are one way and you believe are the other way), they just asserted that we do disagree.

But the last sentence suggests that we disagree about the definition of disagreement, because how could we disagree if you concede that

It is probably true that we would make the same predictions about what would happen in given interactions between agents.
