You start that "analogy" with the binary assumption. That's where it falls apart.

Don’t bother say “Oho! Here’s where the analogy fails!”. I already know that, thanks.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's one way to (not) answer.

I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere

I mean, your analogies that fall apart at the premise don't really help.

Yeah, I read that. I still reserve the right to reject your analogy because I don't accept it as relevant or analogue to anything. You can't go "don't say these things that disagree with me" and expect me to shrug my shoulders and go along.

I don’t think we’re going to get anywhere if you’re going to respond with an “Oho!”

Yep, good thing none of us has done that.
