If they claim it’s proof without there being proof, it’s a bad faith statement. It’s not pedantic to call it out just because you disagree with it.

It’s disingenuous to take credit for something where no credit was ever given.

What's actually bad faith is knowing what someone meant, but continuing to argue that a single word choice voids their sentiment.

No. The onus isn’t on me to “know what they meant.” That’s how misunderstanding happens. The responsibility lies in what you say and how you say it.

If you claim something is proof of something, be prepared to prove it when asked, or don’t say it.

The onus isn’t on me to “know what they meant.”

Of course not. And even if you want to pretend you were actually unclear on it, it was then explained to you several times. So whether or not its on you to know it is irrelevant. You did know it, and chose to continue your argument in bad faith from there on out.

If you claim something is proof of something, be prepared to prove it when asked, or don’t say it.

So change the word "proof" in the parent comment to "strong evidence". Is it clear to you now? Do you understand?

Okay man. I’m really fucking tired of you people constantly rearranging my comments to fit your shitty little narrative.

I’m blocking you as well as the others.

Learn what nuance is.

Better luck next time. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be good at it.
