I think you credit them with too much wits. I just think that my "low probability" argument triggered a Zeno's paradox response from him, because he vaguely remembers that Zeno's paradox is about small quantities.
You could be right. And I also think you are giving him too much credit. I used the term in a post the day before, so maybe he picked it up there. Don't think he would come up with that on his own. LOL!
Let me suggest that some unfortunate individuals look at words, leap to conclusions, and never bother examining the grammatical constructs that link those words into coherent thoughts.
You are close to falling into that category.
