OK, so you didn't. You repeated the old things again. You keep avoiding my ABc argument and the red/blue jackets parallel. It is up to you to show it matters first.
replied 1992d
I already explained how your ABc argument was wrong, and corrected it for you. I explained how the quality c was exactly how the two were dissimilar.

OK, now you are just lying
replied 1992d
Sure... even if you dont like the examples I have given, you should at least try to respond to them. If not it just shows you can not.

You know that this does not follow. There could be many reasons why I choose not to play your games. To try to score cheap points like that is even more intellectual dishonesty.
replied 1992d
The only intellectual dishonesty is coming from you. You try to claim my arguments are in a different form, and attack that form. Strawman much?

It might have been, if you were right about that assertion. Point out where I did that in detail. Not vague arm waving. Where exactly did I say what.
replied 1992d
Repeating yourself.

Since you are probably going to object to that: I can say "Airplanes can't fly because the sky is blue". That is not an argument, I would need to show why the blueness matters
replied 1992d
I did explain why they matter. It explained which qualities were disimilar and how it makes your comparison break down. How much do you need it spoon fed to you?

All the way to where you get off the platitudes and give an argument.
replied 1992d
I gave a list of disimilar qualities. I have spoon fed the argument to you.

replied 1992d
Yes, you gave me a list of platitudes. No, that is not spoon feeding. It is intellectually dishonest conversation. And I did explain why this is so.
replied 1992d
You gave a strawman of why you think it is so. You have not, because you can not, actually refute why those disimilar qualities make your comparison fail.

replied 1992d
It is your job to show how they make the comparison fail, not mine.
replied 1992d
I did. Quit repeating yourself.

What you do is indicate it is up to me to fill in the blanks (how blueness messes up air travel) and then refute. This is preposterous.

And no, it is not sufficient to say "Well, not only is the sky blue, the forest has snakes too". You keep doing this. Platitudes like "scale" are not enlightening to me.

If instead I were to say "when the sky is blue, the atmosphere gets super hot, so the wings of the plane melt and fall off", then I would have at least a real (albeit poor) argument

You were on the right track a bit with the aging population argument, except of course you missed that the same could be used for families. At least that was an attempt.
replied 1992d
You should try comparing to a similar style of argument. Your long example has nothing to do with the argument I gave at all.

You keep making this unfounded assertions. They always show to be wrong when we investigate them. Then you go on to new ones. I think you actually manage to fool yourself with this.
replied 1992d
To use your formula, I explained how your comparison of A and B broke down due to factors c, d, e, and f were disimilar, and it is those qualities that matter when comparing A and B.
replied 1992d
I have not gone on to k
New ones. Funny because you said I was repeating them before. I'm still waiting for any attempt to show why the disimilar qualities I gave were wrong.

And you might get one, once you show they are relevant.
replied 1992d
Oh I have. Many times. Since you cant refute them though you pretend they didn't happen. I get it. You cant back up your words.

replied 1992d
I did refute it. c, d, e ...k, they are all of the form of my new airplane argument platitudes. It does not matter how many platitudes you add, they are still just platitudes.
replied 1992d
They are not in the form of your airplane argument at all actually. You have yet to actually refute the points. You are just hand waving them away by misinterpreting them.

OK, if you had a good argument, you would make that one, and stick to it. But never mind that. Pick one here and now and present it properly.
replied 1992d
Quit repeating yourself.

Pick your best argument and repeat it here. As if you mean it.
