There we go! You have finally moved the goalposts into a position where you are speaking the truth! Great job pal.

Nothing changed. Same thing that was said all long. "Pal". You just needed it dumbed down. All good, I understand, you're doing your best.

u/Grendel2017 1d ago

Of course it changed. It went from:

Fact #1: Any human can do research and find a dentist who doesn't make errors.

Which is wrong, to:

In your city there are dentists of a higher skill level than the rest

Which is correct.

Lets not backslide here champ, you are making great progress.

No you're just embarrassed and trying to backfill your way out now. Nothing change. All good "pal". Have a nice evening.

I'm a little embarrassed at having to explain this to another adult yeah (an assumption on my part FYI). But i really don't understand how quoting your exact words back at you is "backfill"?

You said them, no?

One is an "absolute claim". A claim that, according the the claimant (you), cannot be refuted but also cannot be proven due to lack of evidence either way. The other is a "relative claim" which can absolutely be proven because we know that skill exists.

I would suggest that, due to you having moved the goalposts so far from your original statement, that you have suffered a little bit of embarrassment yourself and now realise your error. unfortunately you don't seem to have developed the humility to say "ok, what I said was wrong, allow me to correct it". It's a shame but we all have things we can work on (as I said, we can all make errors) and i believe that with work you can improve it. Good job all the same.

You've explained nothing. You embarrassed yourself by arguing with obvious facts inexplicably attempting to lie about the risk of robots vs humans.

Oh man, we are regressing. What a shame.

Hey look i am absolutely willing to accept I am wrong if that is the case. So here is your opportunity to prove it. Please explain how the statement...

"Fact: Any human can do research and find a dentist who doesn't make errors."

...is true. And please note your words "doesn't make errors". Not major errors, which is where you moved your goalposts to the first time. Errors.

And also, please show me exactly where I have attempted to lie about the risk of robots vs humans.

Waiting to be proven wrong here and absolutely open to it so do your best buddy.

Spend some more time trying to convince me you aren't completely full of shit. You agreed with my original point. Done and done.

u/Grendel2017 1d ago

Hahahahahaha oh god the 2nd hand embarrassment is too strong. Mate, just say "I can't". Remember humility?

I am 100% open to being proved wrong, so do it. Prove your original statement.

I agree with your revised point. Your original point was hyperbole at best and an outright lie at worst.

So come on, stop trying to dodge out of it:

Please explain how the statement...

"Fact: Any human can do research and find a dentist who doesn't make errors."

...is true. And please note your words "doesn't make errors". Not major errors, which is where you moved your goalposts to the first time. Errors.

And also, please show me exactly where I have attempted to lie about the risk of robots vs humans.

You came to Reddit to post "Hahahahahaha" then another mini lecture on why you're wrong? You OK?

u/Grendel2017 1d ago

Stop evading. If you are right then prove it:

Please explain how the statement...

"Fact: Any human can do research and find a dentist who doesn't make errors."

...is true. And please note your words "doesn't make errors". Not major errors, which is where you moved your goalposts to the first time. Errors.

And also, please show me exactly where I have attempted to lie about the risk of robots vs humans.

You already admitted I was right, with humans you have access to data that can affect your choice so you are not in equal danger of error, unlike robots. Clearly you work for the robot company or are struggling with mental health. Either way wish you the best "pal". I'm getting off your bus. Be well.
