There is this failure mode, most commonly shared by online atheist posters, when they post something technically correct, but completely irrelevant and in bad faith towards the interlocutor. You’re being deliberately obtuse, if you imply that OP is some kind of anti-fact person, in contrast to rationalists, who are very pro-fact.
Moderator Note: I am shutting down replies to this thread, since I don’t expect this to go anywhere valuable, and most likely just explode badly (Demon Threads and all that)
