Accusations of stupidity or dishonesty without argument are themselves informally fallacious; that is, they're irrelevant personal attacks. Unfortunately, you seem fond of them.
You're welcome to show how anything I've said or implied is implausible. I suspect you'll have difficulty.
No, you misunderstand. I wasn't accusing you of dishonesty. I'm flat out telling you that you're incorrect. Well, more specifically, I was letting everyone else reading that your assumptions are incorrect. I don't know why you think that's a "personal attack". I know it can be fun to suggest that things that are outlandishly plausible are actually true and not just theoretical, but that's simply not the case here.
So now question begging also: you've not established that what I've said is outlandish. In fact, you've not attempted to establish anything about what I've said.
My accusations of "personal attacks" are in response to your claim that I'm either stupid or "trolling" (dishonest), viz.
Now you're just being dumb. Or you're trying to see how many logical fallacies you can hide into one post.
I give your post a 3/10.
Nothing substantive was added to this. The link I provided helped clarify the distinction. I invite you, again, to show that anything I've said or implied is implausible-or even outlandish. This will involve more than stating your belief that I'm mistaken.
If you're unwilling to do this, I'm happy to bring our conversation to a close.
