    Argument from authority.

    Well, do you have one?

    I see we don’t know how “” work.

    Really? You’re gonna pull that one and nitpick about proper grammatical use of double quotes?

    I told you to go read the Talmud already and you didn’t even put that supposed language ability you have work.

    What’s the point? You want me to read it to satisfy this argument? You know it’s a unreasonable and unattainable request just on the merit of the volume of reading alone, all for a “Reddit” debate. But you’ll just position it as me not putting in the requisite work to approach your level of knowledge. It’s the same argument flat earthers make when they say “show us an actual picture of a round spinning ball”, but when presented with a satellite photo they just claim it’s CGI, so they insist “if you didn’t take the photo yourself, then you don’t have any proof”. Because it’s obviously ridiculous for an average person to muster the finances and resources to get into orbit and take a photo just to win an argument with a flat earther.

    I’m not going to read the Talmud based on your insistence, and frankly you already knew that. Which is why you said it so that you can try to chock it up as a “win”. You do you.
