Like MX, you seem unwilling to accept fact, and continue argument,

Despite the informal mathematical proof that I presented, there has
not been a single /attempt/ to present a fact that even remotely
suggests that airtime is inversely proportional to net risk. There
have only been statements of position, and restatements of position
(but feel free to quote if you think otherwise). I considered
formalizing the proof that airtime is directly proportional to net
risk, but I've determined that that would be useless because those who
don't accept the informal proof are the same ones who would not
understand a formal proof anyway. But if you think otherwise, I will
post the formal proof on request.

Debating with MX is useless, because of this. Many have tried to be
civil, but after doing that, he argues, just to continue to argue.
He dismisses facts given, because the presenter does not know what
he is talking about, or... You choose the given reason of the
moment.

Considering that MX's opponents (from what we've witnessed in this
thread) simply expect their statements of position to be accepted,
w/out supporting it, then I can see why MX might continue to dismiss
what is probably more likely to be ad hominems than facts from this
crowd. Reasonable, intuitive claims need not necessarily be
supported, but extraordinary claims like airtime is inversely
proportional to net risk need to be grounded with something meaningful
if challenged.

You are following his path, exactly.

Don't like our group, because it is not responding to you as you
would like?

Fine.

I'm not ready to write off the /whole/ group as useless just
yet.. perhaps only the few who address logical arguments with logical
fallacies. From what I've seen, only MX's opponents who surfaced in
this thread use personal attacks and/or repeated statements of
position, and then wonder why this strategy is not persuasive, and
from there conclude they're dealing with a "dense" opponent. The
optimum skull density in this case mitigates these sort of tactics
from being persuasive.
