Re: Something to remember
I was going for name calling, but you have clearly reached the level of contradiction.
However, there may be a hidden lesson in this. When you call someone a name the highest they can get on the chart is contradiction.
Clearly, such interactions are dynamic.

Re: Something to remember
I was not referring to you. I am simply making the observation that a person's refutation style can force their opponent to a lower level. It cannot necessarily force them to the same level, but it can definitely force them to split the difference. I suppose that sheds some light on Donald Trump's election campaign. When He called Marco Rubio "Little Marco", the best that Marco Rubio could do was contradict him. If he had attempted analysis, he would have looked like a nerd.

Marco could have replied "I'm much more prepared to be president and an intellect than you, so whose the smaller man?"
That would have taken guts and balls. Those facing Trump on the stage had neither.

I seem to recall several of the candidates saying things comparable to that. I am sure Hillary said things comparable to that. We all have to come to terms with the fact that "reason" does not win the day.

Re: Something to remember
Well Spike, I think reason won the day, although I still can't believe it.

Re: Something to remember
One word this Nov. They are going for impeachment of both Donald and Pence. On your cone chart, Redq, I would think the 2nd highest layer is the best. I also wonder if the chart is used by law schools rather than Grad schools in physics?
