In logic, the strength of an inductive argument is based on the premises. So I would say that the premises have great rhetorical value.
With that in mind, length seems like a reasonable proxy.
> It seems to me that it's easier for you to insult me than to engage with what I'm saying.
I just wrote a massive comment. When you say things like this, it brings out the gadfly in me. It's absurd to say I don't engage with what you're saying. I wrote a reply to nearly everything you said.
> If you just prefer to assume bad faith when someone makes a mistake, rather than give people the benefit of the doubt at no cost to yourself, okay.
I explained why. With the mistake, you're referring to the your first comment again. To repeat: it has nothing to do with that!
