***You’re working from the (unsubstantiated) assumption that the intellectually bucktoothed assertions of the Paulestinians posted hereabouts genuinely merit “reasoned, coherent argument[s],” in response.***

No, I am saying that if the above were so, they could be defeated easily by a reasoned argument. People would not have to resort to calling names and posting “funny” pictures.

****A little scientific truism for you to learn and remember: a faulty initial premise leads, invariably, to faulty conclusions.***

Yes, but then people would be able to show, or at least debate, that the initial premise was false.
