Two fives, playing poker, is a pair.
Now, please, object by telling me that two fives can't be a pair because two fives is ten and so poker cant exist because of the rules of blackjack and "identity identity identity"?
And regarding the line of yours I bolded: It's hilarious you talk of me strawmanning when this is an extremely obvious strawman.
You've strawmanned me throughout this whole thread by repeatedly saying I haven't addressed the question when I have addressed it the way you wanted me to at least twice and addressed it many times more than that the way you didn't want me to: by saying the question is invalid and explaining why--giving my own objections. And you simply don't accept my objections. Which is fine. But don't tell me I'm not addressing a question when you know very well I think it's invalid because it's based on an incoherent premise.
Even when CD jumped in initially pages and pages ago to join in with you saying I wasn't addressing the question... I'd already addressed it once the way you wanted me to saying that "No it's not logical." Then I went on to say it's not logical because it's not even a successful hypothetical and you started saying over and over again that I wasn't addressing the question that I had already addressed... then CD jumped in to defend that bullshit when I'd already addressed it pages before.
It's like the child who asks the same question over and over when they don't like the answer I've already given them.
