Oxitendwe didn't start with a different set of premises, he took Pike's conclusion and showed how it would lead to some bad consequences.

You haven't stated anything to rebut any of the points made by Oxitendwe.

Instead, you demonstrated your ignorance of basic argumentation skills and your proclivity for self-righteousness.

You would do well to drop the sanctimonious tone ("don't huff about", "don't pretend") during discussions.

If anybody here is huffing, it is you.
