(1,555 posts)You could have stopped here. To revisit what I said: "everyone has a point of view, through which we all view the world." Even data is subject to points of view, though to a lesser extent... we call that interpretation.
But let us test that, shall we?
Following grammatical standards, we can identify a fundamental flaw in your argument.
It occurs through the interpretation of the comment: "No, in fact reality is not "somewhere between all the points of view""
studying what I said and how you repeated it, we can identify that you left out an intentionally placed qualifier, which drastically changes the meaning of the sentence. Lets do a side by side comparison shall we?
Here's what I originally said:
"Reality, is often somewhere between all the points of view" - Now, lets follow that up with what you responded with:
"No, in fact reality is not "somewhere between all the points of view" -
Notice how you left out that vital and meaning changing "is often"? That was the qualifier you left out.
When we add it back in, we get the automatically implied "not always"... this gives the complete thought:
Reality, is often, but not always, somewhere between all the points of view.
This misunderstanding is what your argument has stemmed from.
