If we break down all the boundries of opinion and fact -- which, on a technical level, is fair -- we end up unable to resolve anything ever, because there is nothing but opinions. It is important that we accept at least some things as "fact" because otherwise all discussion and analysis grinds to a halt. Therefore, we should accept some things as "facts" even though we know, technically, that they aren't absolute facts. An example: the Wii has outsold the Xbox360. Another example: Halo is a better game than Chicken Shoot.
I really don't understand your post, Sqrl, because it reads like you agree with me, but you seem to be phrasing it as if we were at odds. |
Thats just it raising the point is itself pointless. Bringing up all of this up really doesn't get us anywhere. It would be like trying to calculate how quickly you are moving so you would know how long until you reached your destination and having someone point out that technically the earth is moving through space and thus you're actually moving much faster than the odometer indicates. Its true, but it really doesn't have any impact on the outcome because the final destination is equally effected since you're both on Earth.
Where the line is drawn is the issue here, and the fact that our options are bound by opinions is a needless point because there is nothing we can do to change that. So while yes we agree that you must draw the line some where, I wasn't setting out to show that we disagreed on that point but rather to show that making the point was itself pointless.
Actually I'm somewhat confused that you were arguing with Naz about the issue if that was the point you were driving at. It would seem like you actually agreed with him as well and again I don't see why.
Perhaps I missed something....but it seems a needless complication to me.
