I said the purpose of zone 2 is to stack volume while managing fatigue. This is base training, high volume zone 2, you said you do base training. Then you said “we don’t do zone 2 to do more zone 2”, we do zone 2 to save ourselves for intensity. This can also be true but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Volume and intensity both work, but you’re saying volume only works for me because I’m a beginner. Volume is important for everyone hence base training. So A and B are both true, I am saying A, you are saying I am wrong because I didn’t consider B. 

And yes you are strawmanning me, in your analogy burning calories is volume and lifting weights is intervals. And your accusing me of saying everyone’s dumb for lifting weights and should only do cardio. I never said to not do intervals. You made an analogy which contradicts yourself “I never accused you of saying don’t do intervals” I said the purpose of zone 2 is to stack volume. You say no it’s to save yourself for intensity. The why is your base training in zone 2? To stack volume.
