Poot,
I know exactly what you mean ...
You said "I feel that if I can not somehow shed light into the mind of
Platt, then I will forever be barred from making progress ... I can never
build an argument concise enough to infaliibly prove my point"
Problem is "infallible" arguments depend on logic and absolutes, anything
which doesn't is fair game for that skeptic Ant was referring to.
ie Nothing personal Platt, but you personify a challenge to the intellect
that seems to frustrate.
Despite the fact few seem to share any value in your opinion, it seems
necessary to argue against it.
That damn catch-22.
Ian
