At first I didn't think this even merited a response, but on second thought you do have a bit of a point:
"To be unconvinced of something infers that you examined the evidence and found it lacking. To be wholly unconvinced of something suggests that a more exhaustive study occurred, but still did not persuade. For you to be wholly unconvinced of something you have not investigated is either a contradiction or arrogance."
I understand why you would take "unconvinced" to mean "someone tried and failed to convince me", but that's not what I meant nor is it inherent in the ordinary definition of the term. What I meant by "wholly unconvinced" was that I had not done actual research, but what little I did happen to know led me to be very skeptical, very dubious, though open to persuasion. (If, that is, I had the time to open up yet another avenue of dialog, which I don't, which was the point of my comment.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
