126. You Dismiss With No Evidence. You Are Putting Forth Empty Premise. That Makes It Illegitimate.
You have yet again failed to go any deeper than just saying "you're points are false cuz I say so". Well guess what pal, the world don't exactly work that way.

You say my argument fell stillborn in the first place. Oh really? I'd say it was solidly grounded and still as of yet unrefuted. How was it stillborn?

You say it isn't actually logic at all but a rhetorical point. Oh yeah? How so? Cause the fact is, it is absolutely fundamental logic making a point firmly found in our current reality. If you want to refute that blunt declaration you are invited to, but that means doing more then just saying "cuz I say it isn't". It would actually incorporate you putting down substance and reasoning as to why it is false or not of fundamentally sound logic. I can't find any statement on your part that has even come close to doing so yet.

In fact, it appears you are disagreeing with it simply because you don't like the concept. But when dealing with something logical, your like or dislike of the premise is irrelevant in regards to its legitimacy. Only stronger logic showing otherwise can refute it. That's how it works. If you have such logic at your disposal, then please provide it. If you don't, and you can't think of how or why the OP is false, then maybe you are taking the wrong position in arguing against it to begin with.
