I notice you've been ignoring my recent thought experiment and the
accompanying refutation. Ignorance doesn't make you right; it just

No, it "tends to build an increasingly stronger support case" that you
are deliberately disregarding the clear refutations of your arguments.
Your ignorance of my thought experiment is clear evidence of this.
