If you mistake an explicit premise for an unstated assumption, and shout 'gotcha!', you're in the weeds.
I think what’s happening is that I’m arguing between the lines and you’re arguing on them. It’s like matter and antimatter, but no matter.
You say you're 'arguing between the lines.' Do you code between them, as well?
Wouldn’t it be impressive if I did?
Best practice is to forget everything you ever learned in a 101 class. And don’t bring logic to a word fight.
