I Lied When I Said We Did Everything We Could

So to be clear, you can obviously see when I'm expressing my opinion, but due to semantics of English, you demand I express it in a way that doesn't offend you?

Jesus dude, why the fuck would anyone listen to that level of hubris? What the hell kind of incentives are you giving me here, because right now my only incentive is to laugh at the person who can't actually have a conversation because they're too busy derailing it with semantic arguments about things they did understand, but didn't like how it was presented.

It has nothing to do with offending anyone. (Note that I explicitly said that rudeness was not the issue). It has nothing to do with how you presented what you said. It has to do with the substance of what you said--your accusation of lying--being unjustified.

It's not unjustified, and even if it was, a belief can still be true or false.

Again, I urge you to read about epistemological knowledge. Basic philosophy concept that will educate you.

Yes, exactly, which is why I keep objecting when you express your opinion but then treat it as if it were fact.

I don't care if you object, I'm not going to stop.
