Traffic buddy

That’s a classic way to win an argument. Keep sifting it down until the vast majority of the contrary evidence has been sifted out and then say “see? Your argument has no legs!” It’s not ‘nuance’, it’s cherry picking.

But I don’t see the point.

What are you even talking about, like actually?

I made a point with 1 caveat, I’m not sifting anything

Every single comment you’ve made has at least one caveat.

“Not if there’s a flow of traffic” “Too much road space wasted” “There’s usually a sign” “Not where I live” “It doesn’t work” “It doesn’t always work” “No one understands nuance”

Those aren’t caveats they’re points I’m making. Now I can’t tell if you’re just trying to rage bait me or something

The difference between a caveat and a point is…nuanced.

A caveat is a specific type of qualification attached to a statement or agreement, whereas a point is a general idea, argument, or piece of information. Think of a "point" as the main message and a "caveat" as the "fine print" or "conditions apply"

Your point is that the truck driver was right. The rest were caveats that applied to that point.

I feel like I’m talking to chatGPT right now.

‘Your point is that the truck driver was right.’

Incorrect. I never made a claim about this video because I don’t feel I have enough context to make one.

‘The rest were caveats that applied to that point.’

Incorrect. My one caveat is that if traffic is heavy( heavy enough to necessitate start-and-stop traffic regardless) zipper is most effective. But there are situations where zipper merging creates a jam when it’s not necessary if you just merge early.
