Thank you for your reply. To prevent miscommunication, I'd like to make sure we have the same meaning for shell game. I see it as meaning the use of a distractive tactic to confuse a person. The idea being that I was trying to distract the reader from something. Do I have that right?
If we agree on the meaning of shell game, could you please described which part/s seems to be an attempt to confuse the argument? Thank you again for your reply, and I look forward to more.
Shell game: Guess which shell the pea is under while I shuffle them madly about. Remember that the pea might not be under any shell, but you'll lose your money anyway.
