    If you two are going to do this, begin in a new thread.

    Also, do note that others may join in.

    If the two of you want to pursue this restricted to just yourselves, then do it via PM or some other venue.

    If you're not going to state anything specific about the explanation that you find unclear or incorrect, then there is no discussion. Thus, you really don't have a point. You can claim the explanation failed all day. Until you address exactly what is unclear or whatever, there is no point.

    Once again, lixluke has no point to make.

    You're missing the point entirely: you did not make an explanation.

    ergo, I cannot make a specific point.

    No you're missing the point. I did make an explanation. You found it insufficient. Yet choose not to state anything specific about it.

    Incorrect.

    You did not make an explanation, therefore, it is impossible to refer to any specific part of it.

    I did make an explanation. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean I did not explain it.

    "I explained it, just because I explained it to myself and you don't get it doesn't mean I don't get it"

    You can obviously convince yourself, but it's clear to everyone else that you did nothing of the sort.

    An explanation is the reasoned support of a conclusion through the use of a valid argument.

    All you did was to supply a few assertions.

    No matter how many times you pedantically assert the notion that you've formulated an explanation, the fact is, there was none provided in this thread.

    Good luck.

    Blah blah blah. I clearly posted that I was explaining how knowledge works. I then provided a clear explanation of how knowledge works. If you feel you cannot comment because there is supposedly no explanation, you simply don't have a point.

    ..as usual.

    You really should stop repeating yourself all the time.

    If my explanation is clear, and no-one wants to agree with it, that must mean I'm right.
