As I understand it, the No True Scotsman is a recognised fallacious argument where a debater, in essence, argues that their opponent cannot understand why something is so without either becoming what they are/experiencing what they have/knowing what they know. Someone (someone other than you that is ... sorry but I wouldn't trust you to tell me my weight correctly even if you'd just measured it) will no doubt correct me if I have misunderstood it.
You have used that style of argument on several occasions in this forum and are therefore guilty of using the No True Scotsman fallacy.
