    What percentage of people do you think would believe your current line of reasoning?

      There are the facts, whether you like it or not. And I am not responsible for what other people believe.

        The facts? What are you referring to? I am simply asking a question about percentages. Are you imagining that my question was somehow related to an earlier post?

          If you’re so lost that you can’t even maintain the thread of the conversation, I suggest you review the past comments to find your place. As for imaginings, you’re the only one who, as I just mentioned, can’t seem to keep track of the things anyone is saying here, making things up as you go along.

            Are you suggesting that it is somehow possible to use context to understand what others are saying?

                Through what mechanism is that apparent? Inference? Surely I am not responsible for whatever random ideas pop into your head

                  Likewise, I am not responsible when others imagine I said something I didn’t. Thank you for making my point for me.

                    I’m glad we are both in complete agreement that it is definitely impossible for any meaning to be conveyed other than a literal interpretation of the exact words being used.

                    Your contribution to this discussion has been very valuable and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to hearing more from you
