Non Political thanks for your (patronizing) attempt at answering my question. I listened (read) it carefully as you requested… and I reject it as irrelevant.
No one asked CS to justify why she believes whatever it is she believes. She believes it because she believes her rebbe expected her to believe that. What she was asked was to give a rational explanation of why she believes it, and that can’t be based on quoting the source saying the source is correct.
After you have listened (read) the above carefully I hope you’ll see the difference between someone challenging her to a debate and someone asking for a rational explanation.
