Whoa! Three lies in one sentence -- that's gotta be a record for you. Maybe not.
I retracted nothing. I never made that claim. And I never said it was completely absent.
I cited a quote from a court document stating that there was no reflex. In context, the statement is obviously referring to oral nutrition, since it acknowledges saliva swallowing.
Saying a person cannot run in the Olympics is not saying the person can't run. If you weren't amusing in your childish way, you'd be a waste of my time. You offer nothing to the discussion, except for your pitiful and irrelevant whining about saliva.
Yes, over and over again. Yet you never claimed there was no reflex? Please. What a clintonesque attempt at dodging the facts. You claimed there was no reflex.
I never said it was completely absent.
In other words, "no reflex" means "some reflex"? I suppose that depends what the meaning of "no" is. Thanks for your testimony, Mr. President.
In context, the statement is obviously referring to oral nutrition, since it acknowledges saliva swallowing.
On the contrary, you clearly stated your belief that "involuntary" swallowing of saliva occurs at random intervals--i.e., that liquid placed in her mouth will not be swallowed, unless it happens to occur at the time of her "involuntary swallow". It's abundantly clear that you had no comprehension of the pharyngeal reflex at the outset, picked up a glimmer in this conversation, and are now pretending that your position has never changed. I hope you don't think you're fooling anyone.
You offer nothing to the discussion...
You seem to be trying to reassure yourself. At the very least, I've offered an education on what the pharyngeal reflex actually is or isn't, and you've clearly learned a little something. Not much, but it's a start. Ending every post with variations on the same childish ad hominem isn't doing your case any good.
