"muh fallacy"

I didn't know this was reddit

I might have missed the actual point.

You deliberately missed the point, and seem to think I can't tell you're being deliberately obtuse.

    A fallacy is just pointing out that your argument isn't likely to arrive at the truth. As I explained, your "I met a dumb person and so all arguments against this are dumb" stance isn't useful, even if we agree you're not just making that all up.

    I asked for clarification. Is that your stance? That it's fundamentally impossible that someone could accidentally send a SMS in Signal while thinking it is secured? I'm going to assume that you don't believe it's fundamentally impossible, so that mean your real stance is that if that happens and someone gets sent to jail or worse, that's a small price to pay for your convenience of not having to *checks notes* switch between two apps.

    Do you see how your lack of perspective might be leading you to make a poor argument?

    Being this obnoxious is practiced and you're clearly conversing in bad faith, that's the only response you get

    What's bad faith about my argument? There's only two options: You believe what you typed and that it's impossible to make this mistake, or that you were using hyperbole, and you acknowledge that it is possible to make this mistake. These two options are both mutually exclusive and binary-- there can be no other stances. (and notably you haven't actually clarified which one you believe.)

    I didn't make you choose to defend a poorly thought out stance. That's on you.
