Okay. I give up. I really liked your 11 May comment, and it made me optimistic that this conversation would lead somewhere new and interesting, but I’m not feeling optimistic about that anymore. (You probably aren’t, either.) This was fun, though: thanks! You’re very good at what you do!
OK. I’m not sure to what extent I’m supposed to take the last comment as an insult (“you’re very good at emitting sophistical bullshit” or whatever), but no matter :-).
I don’t know that I was feeling optimistic, but I had had some hopes that you might be persuaded to engage with what seem like key criticisms rather than just dismissing them. But you certainly should feel obliged to engage with someone you aren’t finding it worthwhile arguing with. [EDITED to add:] Er, oops, of course I mean you shouldn’t feel obliged.
By the way, I see that at least one earlier comment of yours in this thread has been downvoted; it wasn’t by me.
