This argument goes nowhere (for a torturously drawn-out post count). Best to move on.
I disagree, but you knew I would. Unless your mind is so totally closed that you can never refine your opinions, this back and forth helps each person refine his or her arguments for their side. Debate is a matter of presenting opposing views. Often, you start with generalities and a broad overview, then narrow down your argument to the fine points that support the core of your opinion. I would only cease to debate if the exact same arguments were presented over and over again without moving on to new levels.
