Which is a change of subject, and deflection of my point.
If by this you meant that I dismissed your "point" as irrelevant, then yes.
Appeal to a long-gone authority does not constitute "a point".
Look how suddenly one quote becomes, drumroll:
the plan set out by the creator of Bitcoin
My counter is:
Look, you seem to misunderstand the nature of this conversation. We are not "in an argument" in order to "find a solution" to some mutually-understood "problem". We are instead in this situation where I'm simply stating that there is currently no "problem" to "solve".
"Why are you against adding a fifth wheel to your car?".
Because my car moves perfectly fine with four wheels.
Well you're going to need to wait longer and longer before you can get the car to start if you don't prepare for it now.
Thank you for making that point for me. When we indeed find ourselves in the presence of a slow starting car, do we really want to have to look, embarrassed, at this fifth wheel, that sounded like a really good idea at the time? No, when have this issue, we pop open the fucking hood, and have a look at what's *actually* wrong.
