Most people who know they don't have a reasoned argument resort to calling people names, like idiot.

[Old Professer]

You still don't get it, do you?

For all I know, you may well be an idiot; I have no way to tell.

The point I am now belaboring is that one cannot start an argument with a preemptive phrase and expect to win simply because they have obviated a response.

For what it's worth, I advocate nothing, I do debate points of logic, reason and science to the extent of my knowledge as long as it entertains me.

I have actually seen water run uphill -- but there was an earthquake in progress.

I have more hope to repeat that phenomenon than to penetrate your consciousness.
