I've provided three direct quotes where I explicitly acknowledged social dynamics. You keep claiming I didn't. Now you claim you were 'just adding' and that I 'started with the insults' yet the thread shows you introduced personal criticism first with 'defensive self-regard' while my initial comments were substantive.

Most tellingly: you dismiss my direct, repeated acknowledgments as 'not counting' while claiming credit for 'adding' a point you never actually verbalized until this moment. Your standard for what constitutes 'acknowledgment' shifts based entirely on whether you're demanding it or taking credit for it.

And the Bell Curve example directly illustrates holding proponents responsible for social entanglements, the exact thing you claim I never addressed.





Saying that I am 'trying to mirror your posts' is not an insult? What is it then?

Your entire tone is disdainful and dismissive, and your constant need to insist that I am missing something when you refuse to acknowledge my basic point is tedious.

Yes, you acknowledged 'social indicators'. No, you did not acknowledge that 'people who stick around in clubs filled with other people they vehemently disagree with about core issues tend to be rare'.
