Jest is a necessary part of a argument especially when the argument doesn't consist of any characterisitics of a meaningful and factual debate. A snide remark is also useful in a non-face-to-face debate, as it helps to express the emotion involved alongside the actual point as both are important information.
Quote:To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
