“You need to study logic...”

I remember that line from college - it ALWAYS meant that the argument was over and the guy saying it as much as admitted he lost.

Thanks.

As a blanket statement it can state nothing, but when followed by the specific rule of logic which the opponent violated it’s just a dig and has no bearing on the application of the rule of logic stated.

You are confusing an ad hominem attack against you, with your flawed logic being exposed.

You must have gone to College many years ago.

A line generally employed by those who just got skunked over a matter of logic and cannot bring themselves to admit it.
