They establish conclusions, then go searching for ‘reasons’ to cite.
And worse, they can cite completely incoherent “reasons”, which can be observed by noting that the sequence resulting from repeated application of “what do you mean by X” basically diverges. It reminds me of the value “bottom” in a lifted type system. It denotes an informationless “result”, such as that of a non-terminating computation.
