re: But hey, it's all on Flame
As I implied, if I really went into the intellectual machinery of some of those I come up against here, you wouldn't like it.
The inability to actually connect data together to form conclusions using the most basic functions of logic and laws of identity is rampant here. The most blatant demonstration recently was this post by Lindy, where she points out with an imaginary example, how foolish I am to make an argument that simply points out why something is impossible.
The "If this, and this, are true, then this is also true" type of reasoning leaves some people here spinning off the road and into the ditch. It's why any speculation on alternatives falls flat so quickly. It requires applying known values to form a hypothetical conclusion.
