Per usual, I don't understand your objection. Bayesian statistics uses new info to re-evaluate the probability of an old hypothesis.
No one gives a crap Jabba. We can explain things to you, we can't understand them for especially when you are A) not trying to understand anything anyone is telling and B) have an admitted ulterior motive that is counter to you wanting to understand anyone.
It doesn't matter why you think your logical fallacies don't apply - it's all another fallacy called the Special Pleading Logical Fallacy. You haven't got a chance of keeping up if you can't recognize that fact.
And much like framing stuff in the context of "Materialism" actually does a disservice, we need to stop just listing all the logic fallacies Jabba is committing.
- One because because let's be honest it's "All of them." Listing Jabbian Logical Fallacies is like individually naming the grains of sand in the Sahara. Jabba's entire intellectual framework is broken on a level I've never seen. A Toynbee Tile is an argument that merges the Standard Model, Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics into a perfect unified theory
and solves peace in the Middle East, the Energy Crisis, creates a perfect economic system, room temperature superconducting, and makes hotdogs and hotdog buns come in matching numbers compared to Jabba's Immortality Theorem.
- But more importantly because when we tell Jabba "You just made a logical fallacy" all Jabba hears is "I need to reword my argument."
He NEEDS to understand that he could fix every logical fallacy in his entire Dante's Journey of Wrongness... and he's still be wrong.
The problem isn't that Jabba is making logical fallacies. It's THAT HE'S WRONG.
2+2=343 is 100% wrong but there's no logical fallacy in the equation. 2+2=4 because the CIA put a chip in my brain is still correct even though is logically broken.
Right now Jabba's entire argument is a collapsed pile of pillars and I-beams and a foundation made of tapioca pudding. And way too many of our arguments are "This I-Beam has a lose screw, that pillar is made the wrong grade steel, and the tapioca is made with milk and not cream."
So Jabba is (pretending to) tightening screws and reforging steel and adding cream to a big pile of broken nonsense that would still be broken no matter how many tweaks he makes to it.
He's still winning in his head because we're playing his game too much. He still sees this as just a few adjustments away from a breakthrough.
We made a huge error when we let him and his little hanger on group of thread nannies bully us into moving from the intrinsic, load bearing faults with his entire idea to nitpicking the language and details. Jabba sees it as us chipping away at the candy coating, so therefore the chewy nougat center has to be good. The fact that we pointed out the nougat center was sawdust and nail polish 5 years ago notwithstanding.
Jabba. You are wrong. I will no longer engage your nonsense on any other level and invite everyone else to do the same. You haven't earned the right to have your minutia addressed. Your house has burned down and the debris has been swept away by flood waters. I'm done arguing about whether or not the crown model in your living room was miter cut or not.
