pwnership has its privileges!
tw, you had an opportunity to address a buttload of facts after l123 posted #77. But you didn't consider or dispute any of them. You now have a direct, understandable challenge to one of your golden rules -- one of the "facts" that buries itself deep into your mind, and that you then use to suggest to us you've applied critical thinking to a matter.
The right reply now is "Damn l123, you're right. I accepted Lynch's number at face value without really knowing what face value was. Now that it's not as interesting a number any longer, I will probably argue around these matters a little differently. And perhaps I will read different sections of my precious Economist. Thank you for the valuable insight, as someone who has considered these matters much more closely than I have."
The wrong reply is "Since you made these arguments with a veil of emotional insults I will utterly fail to consider anything you said."
