Don't fall for Protagoras' trolling; he's trying to get you to snap. He knows damn well what you meant.

Oh, yes. I know. Protagoras is arguing the weak side as an exercise. He's trying to emulate his namesake. It's not working. It is, however, a pleasant enough exercise for a Wednesday morning.
Hey, he is a purely logical man, he doesn't need advice from other posters!
BTW, speaking of trolling, in case you missed it, that's the whole point. He exists on this site with that childish tag-line to troll for debate on his favorite subject. It is the reason he is here.
I suspect that even though he will never ever admit it, even to himself, he feels a irresistible compulsion to talk the whole thing to death because he is very uncomfortable with his philosophy and has a terrible fear that he may be wrong.
