KT,
I agree. He has limited his scope to those most suited to his claim, and therefrom deduced a completely holistic claim.
Iknowright.
Thanks man. I’m trying to get there. He said he’s open to counters, intellectual integrity and so on, so I expect him to at least engage on the basis of these claims. As long as I engage with him strictly relating to his argument, I expect him to reply. I can’t help, but feel sneaky though.
I have recognised my own breaking point though. If he maintains that there are no justified counter-arguments, then I’m going to crack. Not solely because of my arguments, but because of the way he’s ducking the points, denying what he’s previously been adamant about and recanting without admitting it.
