dmb, You have yet to produce a persuasive argument. Your tactic is more to present a quote and ask the person to 'think about it,' or write "you should be able to see that for yourself." I've not seen a persuasive argument or an explanation of what you present as evidence. Have you had any classes in formal and informal logic?
