I know that there is a point to asking a clear Yes/No question, and that the failure to answer the, by my count, about ten direct questions, and the numerous times they have been referenced, present a failure on their part to hold up their side of the argument, technically admitting defeat. Changing the subject is an admission that one cannot stay topical and still defend their argument. I understand this, which is why I started asking such questions, simplistic though they may be. What I was wondering above is why I bother, seeing as they still act as they have some legitimacy in this debate despite not being deserving of it. Technically after the first question wasn’t answered I should have rested my case.
