        If you mean that “gotchas” (your words, not mine) cannot ever be logically sound

        i mean gotchas are bad faith. they are loaded questions.

          Hahaha just answer the question. You’re like that meme that goes “APPEAL TO AUTHORITY, STRAWMAN FALLACY” in the middle of a normal conversation. Likr, if you’re in a debate and someone pushes your argument into a corner, you can’t go “no, judged the opposing team is using gotcha arguments that make mine look foolish, I object”.

          Gotcha!

            I’m just trying to keep the conversation honest and point out rhetorical traps laid by dishonest interlocutors

              Hey it’s only a trap if your argument falls for it. When have I lied? Stop arguing weird imagined semantics and actually reply like a human. Why do you think it’s okay to kill and consume sentient life?

                don’t be petulant. I have no interest in answering yourbad faith questions.

                if you have a claim, make it.
