Hmmm... Funny how fast you rejected Cvaldas razorsharp and to-the-point analysis of the gambit at hand. Almost too fast, you could argue, as in the classic 'attempting to persuade by overcompensating' scenario. But we've been here before, haven't we Sweeepums...?
On the contrary, my lady!
Really, what it had been was a quick dismissal of what she assumed to be within my... interests. As for me, I have... nobody to persuade but myself! It's quite a secure feeling, I'd say. You may look at me and see a man of many insecurities, but that is just my overall essence, confusing you with a preconcieved notion of who I really am. But this is about you convincing me, my lady, and so far... I think you can do much better.
My dear Sweepums. You're just stalling now.
But I understand how the quite secure feeling you attribute to the fashion in which you partake in this battle of wits, has - unfortunately for you - also equipped me with more than adequate information, from which I can easily deduce the true essence of your nature, without the risk of being clouded by any preconcieved notions I might have developed from an introductory study of your position on the matter at hand.
As such, you have fallen victim to one of the oldest classic blunders - of which the most famous are -
never theorize before you have data, or,
never get involved in a land war in Asia, or simply,
never go up against a Dane, when Danes have spent centruries building up immunity to bullshitting bullshitters.
So, the fact remains that while you might think you have beaten my argument, you have in fact only succesfully beaten an illusion of an argument, an illusion that has now served its purpose to the fullest and desired effect. As such, I will now - with gratitude for a wellplayed game - leave you with your victory of illusion, a triumph of phantasm, an accomplishment of apparition.
Oh, and then there's this...
