I liked this, but found that the dialog format made the argument you're making excessively drawn out and hard to follow. I would have preferred there to be a five-paragraph (say) recap of your criticism after the dialogue.
Thats interesting, after reading this I thought it was one of the best examples I'd seen of the dialogue format being used to explain and argument and its objections.
If our difference of opinion isn't just due to some arbitrary factors about our aesthetic preferences it might be that you are more familiar with the original argument, so didn't benefit as much from having it explained it detail. Do you think thats accurate?
I have followed your advice and added a recap at the end.
Awesome, thanks. :-)
I found that the dialog format made it easy for me to follow, but still overly drawn out.
