My point is you were wrong to call it truth when you're talking about knowledge.

No you messed up lol. We started disagreeing when you said that the truth of oxygen wasn't important until it was discovered when actually it's been important as long as we've been around to breathe it. It's the knowledge of oxygen that hasn't been important until it was discovered.

Yes, the existence and truth of it has been important. The existence of oxygen and the fact that it's true that it exists has been important to us for as long as we've been breathing. Yes the knowledge of it has only been important since it has been discovered.... but you didn't say that. You said the truth of it has only been important since it has been discovered. That's not true. The truth of the existence of oxygen has always been important to us. It's only the knowledge of the existence of oxygen that hasn't been.

It is inaccurate. You said that the truth of oxygen wasn't important until it was discovered. But it's always been important. It's the knowledge of it that hasn't always been.

I see inaccuracy and then I respond.

You mean it's pointless to admit you were wrong when I'm in the mood for correcting all your inaccuracies?
Quote:INB4 you tell me I;m wrong in this, as well:
Whatever you say, as ever, Ham.
You are wrong. You've already contradicted yourself and proved me right. You started by saying the truth of oxygen wasn't important until it was discovered and then you've since changed that statement to the knowledge of it:

My bolding.
When I show one of your assertions to be inaccurate, instead of saying "oops" and thanking me for correcting you or admitting you were wrong about something you just change your assertion and tell me you were agreeing with me the whole time even when you said something inaccurate that I disagreed with
