Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Argumentum ad dictionarium/reply (7)

It really does need a page. Yesterday I was arguing with this guy pulling the same old 'we can never be certain of anything we can only be reasonably sure of it' spiel, except then he demanded we not use the words 'to be' and 'exists' because according to him no one could define them. By his own logic.

So basically we could not make the argument that we can be certain of existence because he banned the word and concept of existence itself.

It's a really cheap way to cut off the other side of an argument.
