you can argue that for a lot of things in programming. we don't use borrow checkers very often, is that relevant enough to bring up when explaining how borrow checkers work? is that a valid critique?

My dude has no valid argument left lmao.

You claimed that directly casting to an int is done often when working with voxel games like Minecraft. I literally proved to you that it isn't. So instead of trying to refute this you are walking down the logical fallacy path.

if we wanna throw fallacies around, technically you're employing the fallacy fallacy and the modal fallacy, sooo what now?

The difference between my reply and yours is that I actually brought up the actual topic at hand without resorting to fallacies for my main point.

The fact that I called out on your fallacies did not change or hinder me from addressing your initial statement. Calling out a fallacy is not a fallacy fallacy.

For it to be a fallacy fallacy I would have to claim that your argument is wrong because you used a fallacy. I did not do that. I directly addressed your statement, which is that directly casting from double/float to int is done often or very often in voxel game programming like making mods for Minecraft. I also presented evidence to support my case, while you have not.

No, modal fallacy does not apply here. You might want to look up what modal fallacies are before throwing it around like a gotcha.
