| Zekkyou said: It wasn't meant to be a perfect comparison, just an easy demonstration of another situation in which multiple assumptions can be made (and assumptions about those assumptions). That car example is contradictory from the start, since there's only 1 variable and it can be controlled for. You can drive slower, but you can't make the Switch smaller or stop apple pie being apple pie (bar adding a creative assortment of additives :p) I live in the UK and i can't say I've ever seen it used outside of a "doesn't matter enough to be said" context, so i'm stuck with the actual definition. It seems a bit silly for you to claim i might be 'reading between the lines', given that's the foundation of your original argument (a desire for clarification hadn't been expressed at that point). You've not answered by question. You wanted me to be clearer, so i condensed my point into an easy to read 3-point question/answer summary, a style you then replicated in response. How could it have been clearer? |
The car analogy fits because much like someone can drive slower someone may use the Switch's portable mode with out the JCs attached and so on which would make size a non issue. In the original post an example of the variables of the switch and later an comparison image highlighted what I meant the are any lines to read between because he has to mean one of those variables after which clarification on which variable was asked, even before clarifaction the is no reading between any lines as the point was highlight clearly beforehand that size could come across as contradictory.
You condensed what is part of your argument and it doesn't match what you've been posting, you've brought up assumptions yes but that part was already answered long before you still haven't fully explained about how this means there being no contradiction and all and how the point was nullified. It just doesn't all tie in at all, if you can't explain it then that tells me you've been arguing some other point that either wasn't said, one you misinterpreted or mixed up an argument from someone else with mine. As it stands if we try to bring some context to the statement either he's talking about the variables of the Switch of which only one would fall into what he's saying or he means a personal preference of some sort which has already been adressed.
