It might be worth pointing out that I'm not the author of that refutation. But I agree that that refutation was itself pretty vague. I was still more irked by the guy being going full Zen-master in the level of clarity of his posts, calling people fatally confused for even thinking about the question and then wondering about being downvoted.

The degree of confusion that could lead one to conclude from what I wrote that I was "wondering about being downvoted", is positively dizzying. Anyone so confused would certainly starve to death absent continual provision by others.
And, yet, your refutation is:
>Given deeper thought, one will find that it's a much more complicated problem to model for. Intuition starts to get fuzzy and practicality goes out the window when factoring in physical constraints.
I think one of these is deliberately vague and hand-wavish just to sound sophisticated. The one that's arguing for some mystical mind-body duality and "deeper thought".
