Friend, I've explained this in plain language to you a couple of times now. I don't get what's so hard about it.
Simply posting your contention on a subject, then letting innumerable citations and quotations do the talking for you, is how slimeball lawyers try to make a case. It rarely works in a court of law, and never in a debate.
You make a case that convinces others by using logic and reasoning - and in your own words. You use citations and relevant quotations by experts and historical figures to merely back up the case you are making.
Jeff posts tons of icing, but leaves out the cake. Does that make it clearer?
Unfortunately, no. I guess it's very clear to me what his argument is and how he's supporting it with the citations. You don't get why I don't understand your complaint; I don't get how you can say he's not making a case. I guess we'll have to leave it at that.
