A belief or opinion that is not made into an argument is just that, a statement of belief. So I believe you're an idiot; what's your concern with this? You shouldn't be, it's irrelevant. Same reason I ignore JR's "stung is pathetic" bullshit
Consider the fact that I'm 'testifying' that I am doing this as a means of practice, and state my motivations for doing so. Also consider that I would be much more capable of understanding my intent than you, since uh, I know what I intend, and you can only provide conjecture, and don't meet any qualifications that make your conjecture probable. What justifies any concerns that you have about me possibly being false? You don't even state why. You just say False. You supply no counterevidence that calls into question the veracity of the testimony.
Think of a lawyer doing this. "He is lying. This wasn't his intent. I rest my case.") With that in mind, my testimony is indeed reduced to a true or false value, but who should one be persuaded to believe more? The individual more likely to understand the intent, and providing logical evidence of his motivations that justify the intent, or someone simply saying it's false?
Persuasion is the issue, and persuasive rationalization involving fallacies can be, imagine this, PERSUASIVE. Rational considerations such as authority should be taken into consideration, even in testimony. I met persuasive rationalization requirements as far as I'm concerned, and thus, rest my case. I never said you were being illogical or anything in the prior post, just that you provide no evidence of why you believe in the false value of my evidence, and aren't a qualified authority to do so really. Why do you think they call experts or witnesses to testify instead of some random jackoff? It's persuasive.
Imagine that. I threw you a curveball and didn't involve proofs, and you didn't even catch on.
