Why doesn't bigfoot use tools?

AlaskaBushPilot said:
This tactic is called "invalidation". Attempted invalidation, anyway. It is best posed as the one-line zinger like this because it isn't possible to make it into something that actually makes a coherent point to the argument.

Compactness carries the illusion of elegance and power. "Water is not a solid". Wow, who could argue with that? Powerful bigfoot evidence.

Since the thread title is about tool use, it's pretty pertinent that animals with brains the size of a walnut use tools.



This is called projection, and from the bigfoot platform what you try to do is get skeptics on the defensive, trying to prove to the gamer that they are not doing what the gamer is doing.

The best way to play the projection tactic is with first-mover advantage: accuse the skeptic of being manipulative first. You set them up to look like they are making a childish tit-for-tat retaliatory accusation.

The form you are using it in carries far less power. I have heard it called "occupying the field" too. By being the first to make the accusation, you establish prior right, removing that right from the person who actually can make the claim validly.

Isn't attempted invalidation what you are doing with your redundant call of the BLAARGER? It might be true but it is exactly what you just projected onto OS. I think you've been occupying the field for way too long.
