And ... just reassure me. That isn't what you're doing by continuing to raise the circularity of the principle of induction, is it?
Because I was, honestly, trying to discuss that one in good faith, while not being entirely sure why you thought it was relevant. And I'm happy to continue to do so. But it strikes me, in the light of what you believed lizw to be doing, that you might have been trying an analogous tactic right back at me, with the aim of making the argument seem so complex that I either gave up and dropped it, or assumed you'd thought more about the subject than I had and deferred to you.
I realise that this is a slightly unpleasant thing to be accused of, but if it's a debating tactic that you thought (and presumably still think) lizw capable of, I don't think it's too outrageous for me to ask whether it's one you might employ yourself.
