  i didn’t ask you for an example, i’m just curious how much of “people trying to convince you” ends up being “people convincing you”

    And I’m telling you I don’t keep a running tally. I have no idea why you expect me to be able to answer that quantitatively.

      which is why i granted you the flexibility of answering outside of a quantitative fashion, as i don’t expect people to do unreasonable things.

      You then accused me of moving the goalposts (which are my goalposts btw?) in order to make it more answerable, and then refused to answer presumably out of bad faith. I’m literally just curious about how you would conceptualize that.

        I can’t tell you a quantity in a non-quantitative fashion. You want to know how many and the answer remains that I have no idea because I don’t keep count. I’m sorry you don’t like that answer, but it’s still the answer.

        If you want to know how many and don’t accept that I have no idea, feel free to pick a number between zero and infinity and apply it as a rough estimate.
