Default The myth of food production "efficiency" in the "ar" debate

Hello Rudy,

Thanks for posting this. It's too long, of course, but that's par for
the course in these internet groups, isn't it.

Your main argument is actually quite elegant, and could be expressed
in almost mathematical terms. Alas, it was not. Instead, you have
let your fingers do your shouting, and you have succumbed to several
nasty habits of the truly indignant, such as capitalizing things that
read quite well without the inverted commas - including, as just one
but probably the silliest example, the word "food" itself in the last
paragraph.

Rudy, you are the sort of opponent that some of us on the other side
(!) treasu intelligent, articulate, logical, etc.; and I for one
look forward to seeing your argument expressed in plain English.

Yours,

D.W.

Thanks for the constructive criticism regarding style.
It's a pity you couldn't address the substance.

How exactly can an argument be elegant and not have substance? Substance is
the essence of argument, only it's substance can have elegance. Or, an
argument without substance cannot be elegant, by definition.

So who's the clueless ninny now, huh?

By being written elegantly, but still being a load of shit.

>Substance is the essence of argument,


Elegance would be more like the style used in presenting the
argument, or the bullshit, or whatever is being presented.

>only it's substance can have elegance.


Bullshit. People like the Goober have been trying to flower
up bullshit and pretend it's something more for a long time:

"Wisdom without eloquence has been of little help to the states,
but eloquence without wisdom has often been a great obstcle
and never an advantage." - Cicero

>Or, an
>argument without substance cannot be elegant, by definition.


Only by a definition invented by a clueless ninny.

>So who's the clueless ninny now, huh?


You've still got it.
