> Could you summarize what you think my initial comment was arguing?
In a lame "gotcha" attempt you took author's words extremely literally: "Let's see how you lose a debate against 2 x 2 = 5 believer. Haha, I'm so smart."
Now, which one do you think is more likely:
- Author meant to say that literally every debate is worth losing
- You (likely on purpose) misunderstood the point author is trying to make
What do you really think is the point author was trying to make? Can you explain in your own words?

Ah, we have a mind reader!

I can, but I won't for you, because it would be fruitless.
No need to reply: you won. You won big time. Have a cookie.
"Despite your best effort, you still learned something today."
How would you say the above line ranks in the goal of "I hope to lose every debate" and "just listen" mindset?
