You are mistaking a reason for believing a statement for a conclusion following from that premise.

And you are caviling.

I have no time for pettifogging.

Consider this my concession, and your "win."

And you are caviling.

That's an ad hominem. I teach logic, and mistaking evidence for a premise as a conclusion of that premise is a serious logical error.
