First duel conclusion


Posts: 1319

When Legga started, my suspicion was on him because of his emotion laden and narc style "everyone is laughing everyone is agreeing" arguments. But as the argument progressed, I noticed Inquirer changing meaning of words and constantly changing positions. He repeatedly failed to provide material examples and also redefining the meanings of his words in the same conversation.

Through some irrelevant semantics arguing and meta-arguing about the points themselves it emerged that both were "chasing ghosts" but Legga painted Inquirer on the corner with definitions of evidence that Inquirer contradicted himself on.

Legga did pretty badly on explaining why he believes that the members of his list are of those nationalities resorting to copes such as "how would you know my reasoning if I did not tell you" but pointed out how Inq flipped and moved goalposts on his own definitions.

I would give this round to Legga

I would like to understand , I was hopping in and out so I only caught snippets.

The initial debate was over the Swedish population of this site.

Legga used Bayesian methods to infer the Swedish population of the site and then Inq came a long and argued against the validity of the inferred population.

The thread then became a debate over methods in which this population could be inferred and then later dissolved into an argument about what constitutes ‘evidence’.

Here after the fact Legga claims that Inq consistently moved the goal post for what constitutes evidence while Inq claims his idea of evidence has remained consistent. To prove Inqs inconsistencies Legga is attempting to again use Bayesian methods while Inq is deploying reason. In reality it was merely a game of semantics?

Does that sounds right?

 99% correct, it was a battle of semantics, le machiavellian narcspeak ad populum type of arguments (we are all laughing at you, everybody knows this) and scanning for side points in attempt to find smaller victories (in my own perception) but the highlight was that Legga made some strong points on Inquirer not being stable in his definitions of words and self-contradiction and also a bunch of evasiveness from Inq.

The funny part is that Legga started pretty bad, he was all over the place giving like I said emotional laden sentences but then sitting back and listening to Inq and picking apart everything he said, pointing out the inconsistencies and pressuring him towards the end.
