Well I agreed with Fuseleer that Partitions can be created, but this doesn't change the problem that consensus still needs to be attained within each Partition and a global consensus is still needed for those who wish to spend to another partition; and consensus will always require PoW or PoS. So afaics you haven't disagreed with what I wrote.
Did I miss your point?
You can still obey CAP and produce a viable, decentralised cryptocurrency IMO. Losing partition tolerance is the lesser of three evils, but like I say, how can you agree with someone you've never spoken to?
I agree with Fuseleer it is possible to have temporary partition tolerance, which apparently is in essense what Iota is doing (but I am contemplating that it can be done another way with blocks that I think might have superior qualities). But you still need a global longest chain rule (or the inferior PoS rule) to resolve interpartition activity (which afaics DAG+PoW=Iota seems to lack?) and thus no unbounded partition tolerance (only temporary). Apparently Fuseleer, CfB, and myself all discovered the same conceptual insight.
P.S. I edited my prior post. CfB I also edited the post you replied to.
