So basically, that's all that your point boils down to? "never mind the failure of millennia of imagination-based reasoning and the striking success of mathematical reasoning in those millennia, I'm just going to make imagination the arbiter of metaphysical possibility even if that means embracing contradictions and other such nonsense"? That's pretty lame.

So you refused to understand my original point and resorted to misrepresenting, strawmanning and eventually insults? Nice. Tapping out.
