[MD] "Could have acted differently" v. "the extent to, , which we perceive DQ"

[david buchanan]

Steve said to dmb:
...You need to point out where exactly the reasoning of the particular argument in question depends on the assumption of the S/O picture if in fact it does and show how he logic falls apart without that assumption. ...Now where exactly did I invoke an SOM premise in that discussion? 


dmb says:

Well, since you're asking me to do what I just did, I'd be a fool to think that doing it again would make any difference. 

Either you understand the criticism or you don't. Whatever. It doesn't really matter to me. But you should understand, at least, that it is not possible to answer or defeat any criticism unless and until you understand it.
