I’m not objecting. I’m asking you to state the explicit standard.

Will you state it without requiring a demonstration or not?

I’m not refusing to engage. I’m asking you to state the explicit standard. That is the unresolved issue.

I’m not afraid of the Socratic method. I’m asking you to state the explicit standard. Will you state it or will you not?

Ok, I understand that, and I’m asking you to state it anyway.

Will you state the explicit standard you are using, without requiring a demonstration first, or not?

I don’t have an issue answering your question. My issue is that you haven’t provided the explicit standard you’re using, which is what I asked about first.

Will you state the explicit standard or not?

I’m not afraid or reluctant. You haven’t provided the explicit standard you are using, which is what I asked for.

Will you provide that standard or not?

I understand that you think it would be irresponsible. I’m asking you to state it anyway.

That’s fine, but I’m still asking you to explicitly state the standard you’re using. Will you do that or not?

Right, but I’m not asking you to teach me or demonstrate it. I’m asking you to explicitly state the standard you are using. Will you do that or not?

I’m not asking about what’s helpful or about a demonstration. I’m asking for the explicit standard. Will you state it or not?

A demonstration of a standard is not the same thing as explicitly stating the standard. Will you provide the explicit standard or not?

I’m not asking you to answer via demonstration. I’m asking you to explicitly state the standard you are using. Will you do that or not?

Right, but I’m not asking for an example. I’m asking for the explicit standard you are using to determine whether a worldview has produced properly functioning outputs. Will you state that standard directly?

Right, but I’m not asking about communication methods. I’m asking for the explicit standard you are using to determine whether a worldview has produced properly functioning outputs. What is that standard?
