(Taking faff is one of the cutest aphorism’s I’ve run across, thank you for that)

Anyways, you’ve repeatedly demonstrated a deeply fundamental lack of familiarity with the topic being discussed here. And you asserting that I agree with you, despite repeatedly explaining the nuance of my position and detailing how we disagree, is a pretty transparent attempt to establish a victory condition that has nothing to do with the content of your argument and everything to do with the submission of your opponent which, listen, usually I’m all for that, but man when you’re just trying to demand it like this it’s a real turn off.

It’s even wildly off topic - you still have done nothing to actually establish that your position is founded on evidence, you’re just asserting that you’re correct and ignoring the mounting evidence for my own position. Hell, at this point you’ve already agreed that there’s no reason for them to slow down. I think you’re agreeing with my point (not that I’m going to try and strong-arm you into that one)

So, seriously, why would they slow down when assaulting a pre-prepared defensive position? Ordinarily, that’s what we’d call suicide.
