O_O hmm i see, well I make no apologies for it
Do you regard it as more more of a priority to refute an argument or to fully understand the argument and the issues around it?
I would be lying if I said my first thought wasn't how do i refute this, BUT I think i was assuming there has to be a way to refute this, and to do that I have to understand it.
Without the understanding, what made you feel that there was a way to refute it?
