@paul @georgetakei This raises an interesting question, actually. If you're dealing with an illogical person, is it your responsibility to figure out how to explain things to them?
Like, lets suppose it becomes clear that they don't actually care about logic or sense or facts and they want you to jump through the appropriate hoops to make them feel good, and that only then will they deign to consider whether they might be full of nonsense. Is it your responsibility to do so?
