I didn’t claim to know what they would think; I only claimed to suspect that they would smile. I didn’t predict a thought; I predicted a smile.

You, on the other hand, predicted an entire state of mind. You predicted that they would weary of their state. All of them. The entire population. You didn’t just say one of them would grow weary, you said they all would.

All I said was one of them would smile.

There’s a difference there in what we both predicted, a difference if (you shed your partisanship for a moment) you can see for yourself.

Well, that was a disingenuous reply.

How did you get in your first response to me from (bold mine):

I'm completely sure that if biological immortality is ever achieved in humans ...they will look back on your post here on this server ... and smile.

To your second reply to me where you then say:

All I said was one of them would smile.

Last I checked my Funk and Wagnalls, THEY means more than ONE. And you presupposed that "they" on the word "humans"... yes, with an "s" on the end which is certainly in the plural.

Sorry, but you CLEARLY made the same assumption of know what all of them would think that you claim I did.

In the end, you assume YOU know what an immortal human would think, too. So your criticism is based on an illogical premise of my supposed failure of being all knowing because you take the same tact in your own determination.

Bye, bye now.
