Is this some kind of an NLP exercise?
FWIW, I've mostly concluded something along those lines.
You wrote
"But when you ask a question and someone provides an answer you don't like, showing why that answer is wrong can sometimes be more effective than simply asserting that you don't buy it"
..and I did..
Indeed. And?
If you don't want someone to put up an argument, don't ask t for it.
I agree completely.
Had I known in advance the quality of argument you would put up, I would not have wanted you to put it up, and would not have asked for one, in full compliance with this maxim.
Lacking prescience, I didn't know in advance, so I did want an argument, and I did ask for one, which fails to violate this maxim.
I'm afraid I have developed a sudden cognitive deficit that prevents me from understanding anything you are saying. I have also forgotten all the claims I have made, and what this discussion is about.
In short, I'm tapping out.
You wanted an argument? Sorry this is "Insults". Go down the hall and to the left. Monty Python (to my best recollection)
You want 12A, just along the corridor
