Steve, thank you for using your time and brains to discuss with people. In this case, a person, who, at least gives in when confronted with how obscenely nonsensical and illogical their stance is. My blood boils with indignation when persons use tired old rhetorical devices and stupid similes to make their point. As in, “insects bother me therefore I exterminate them, so when people bother me, it makes sense I do the same.” And, “I'll concede the point as I have not read up on this recently and it’s too much trouble to look up. “, is both lazy and passive aggressive.
It’s just all frustratingly weaselly. As with the current conflicts around the world, numerous people just cannot stand to live in spaces where everything is just BAD. They feel safer taking a side, even if that means flubbing, manipulating and peddling half-truths and incompetent opinions, AND stepping on and over the same values and ethical standards they selectively use to make their points.
I however do think categories ought to be set in stone, otherwise what is the point of categorizing? If new stuff or insights crop up, you can create new categories to suit the new findings, or even better categorically nix the lacking category. But a category, wrong or right as it may be, is still a category.
