Let me be more specific. What do you think alchemy means?

It's easy to get lost in insignificant details during a discussion.

You've seen Dems use that ploy, I'm sure.

It's easier to get lost in petty insults. Those who use them in lieu of reasoned arguements need to be called out on that.

I ask about why you use the word alchemy not to distract from the main point, but because you either don't understand what the word means or you don't understand your opponents' views. I was guessing it is the latter, but based on your later posts, I think you do understand what alchemy means and are misusing it. I'm not sure if you are doing so intentionally or not.
