    Platt, smiley aside, this is just word games again.

    Why can't we just give up on the logical syllogisms and use common sense
    dialectic, where everything is contingent -"In my opinion, I believe, etc."
    prefixes every statement - rather than assuming every statement is some
    formal assertion, to be challenged purely on logic, rather than intent.

    This is the self destructive Catch-22, that makes me "run away" from logical
    argument with people like yourself and (earlier on this board, I sem to
    recall) DMB too.
