    This is pretty much prime territory for the same methods Kirk used for “debate”.

    Gish gallop, butwhatabout, moving goalposts, exhausting the opponent with bs, etc.

    They’re all the same, they’re not there for any honest conversation. There is absolutely no way to “win” with them because no matter what objective and truthful information you offer it will be rejected or you’ll be asked to “prove” something that cannot be done in any manner acceptable to the asker.
