> I am reluctant to call it "mastery", because it's just superficial, dumb bullshitting tactics, sophistry for the dumb.
While that's true, I don't think you give yourself enough credit.
Even that understanding (that it's all dumb bullshitting tactics) is on a plateau too tall for most to reach. Most can't see the mothership through the chaff,,, they don't even know the mothership exists. Many believe the chaff is all there is and that they're arguing in good faith. Even the very *concept* of there being a mothership is foreign to them.
I often wonder if a lot more people are secretly awake than I think, and nobody wants to start rocking the boat and ending the party, so to speak. But then I remember the general public is generally pretty stupid.
