you were technically right which any pedant will tell you is the best kind of right.

Nah. The best kind of right is when you are wrong. That way you can learn something new.

If I'm being honest, I was hoping you would poke holes in what I said. I guess I need to challenge myself more next time. But thanks for the chat either way!

In my experience you're not interested in a conversation, just making circular, pedantic, bad faith arguments. I'm not interested in that kind of conversation.

just making circular, pedantic, bad faith arguments.

How else are you going to validate that something is true? You have to push a bunch of ridiculous falsehoods and if they all fall down then you can, with reasonable confidence, know that the truth has presented itself.

Occasionally, what originally seems ridiculous actually holds water, and at that point you know something is suspect with what is presented as being true. This is why validation is necessary. Otherwise you're going to start believing a bunch of things that aren't true, and that would be silly.
