Yes, we had a short debate on whether "logically wrong" can be "right" given that language is a social tool ("if it works, it's right")
Nowhere near that. They raised the issue abt logical structure. You told them they shouldn't look at it that way.

But only at the fact that language works functionally. They'd conceded that. Interesting to look at its workings on a logical level.
-
Particularly if you're a mathemetician. Not interesting for everyone but it's so easy to go & have a convo you're interested in.
-
Rather than tell other people to stop having the ones that interest them & look at it your way instead.
-
I think if people are determined to look at something unscientifically it is worth pointing it out. I'm not banning their opinions though.
-
That's not what happened. Ppl were trying to look at logical structure & you kept telling them only functionality matters.
-
That's akin to my looking at the form of a poem & someone insisting I should only look at the themes. That form is the wrong question.
-
Much better to accept that people are interested in different aspects of a thing at different times & its OK if its not 1 that interests you

That's my opinion - one of my few pearls of wisdom - not sure why it should be censored.
-
Oh for goodness sake. You're not being censored by people telling you they'll talk about things the way they want &go away if not interested
-
You told me to stop saying something. (To a third party.)
