Yes, it should be pretty obvious to everyone that you are not attempting to persuade me.

You are using the royal we, and describing the situation as some kind of "we" because you are attempting to imply some kind of authority.. that is really ridiculous.. if this were intended as any kind of meaningful or substantive interaction (which you have already admitted that you are not attempting).  In other words, you are merely trolling, and attempting to raise irrelevant topics (even if hypothetically you were substantively correct).
