Your comments are not relevant to the truth or falsity of the statement I
made.
You are making inferences based upon it that are neither what it says nor
implies. I have made no assumptions about your studies. I have stated a
fact based upon your statements and my own knowledge of the subject areas
mentioned that is independent of what you have studied or know.
If you want to play philosopher and state opinions about philosophy, you
have to learn how to read and respond with precision rather than interpret
words loosely. Otherwise, you are just spouting the same bullshit that you
have stated you despise.

The fact is you don't know what I know about philosophy or science. So
to base your statement or opinion on one statement I made is rather
short-sighted, don't you think? You don't think that there's a whole
realm of what I know that you're not privy to... or likewise don't know?
The fact that I didn't express my thoughts with dictionary precision
(remember words frequently have numerous related definitions) is rather
irrelevant.
The point is you should not assume to know what I've studied or not
studied.
Since scientists and philosophers themselves, frequently disagree in
earnest about where the philosophical/scientific lines meet and/ or cross
over each other, I think I'm in at least that good of company.

My statement, quoted below, was "With these statements, you demonstrate
little study of Philosophy or Science."
The statement is true, regardless of your opinions about the subject.

based on how much we really know of each other.
I find philosophy, especially as popularly taught is all too
frequently someone else's own random mental meanderings with no
connection to objective truth.
I can come up with my own postulations just as easily and they would
have equal validity.
Too much of what is being taught as wisdom and knowledge is simply
either supposition or garbage.

With these statements, you demonstrate little study of Philosophy or
Science.
