    Now your argument is pretending there is an incorrect statement in my argument.

    No, not pretending. You are confusing fact with opinion. That’s actually a fact.

    Ad hominem attacks against me aren’t compelling.

    And accusing me of “splitting hairs” instead of addressing my actual argument is also an ad hominem. You’re basically undercutting your own position.

      Your argument is definitely the one pretending and the one confusing incorrect facts as an opinion.

      And accusing me of “splitting hairs” instead of addressing my actual argument is also an ad hominem.

      Your argument attempted to split hairs.

      I’m sure it’s true in some cases, but the blanket claim that it’s the only reason is an opinion (and almost certainly an incorrect one at that).

      Your argument attempted to split hairs unsuccessfully. My argument’s statement was correct.

      You’re basically undercutting your own position.

      Your argument does this to itself.
