You didn't dispute them. You distorted their meaning to try to make them fit your argument.

I distorted nothing, I merely asked some rhetorical questions. You inserted the context, or lack thereof, and decided that I was distorting something or other, when all I was doing was pointing out that generally, all embracing staements are either either wrong or facile.

If you want universal statements that actually mean something, stick to science. If you want a debate, then semantics, as you'll find in issue here, are what you want....
