When somebody ends an argument by angrily telling you to go read a book, and you do, the book usually confirms they're wrong.
Because people who try to shut arguments down with this project that they can't imagine a scenario where they would actually read a book. It's the same energy as those that invoke the Bible, i.e. never read it themselves, assume it says what their feelies feel
I love doing that. When someone tells me I'm wrong and I need to do some research and then I come back with peer reviewed research papers confirming my side.
Yes, I'm that level of petty about our tiny disagreement.
Your "research" was supposed to be in the echo chamber websites they frequent!
Yeah and if you show them credible sources they'll be like "WRONG. See?" and then link to a bunch of propaganda sites...
"Its in the bible" "Go read a dictionary" "The Quran literally says..." "Yeah but the comics say..." "Yeah but in the manga..."
Youre absolutely correct, these people have no idea what theyre talking about.
What's wrong with "Yeah but in the manga/comics"? Those don't seem to fit with the others.
They seem more along the lines of "Agh, the movies don't even mention the Barrow Downs!"
Theyre wrong about what happens in them.
Does this apply in 100% of cases? Because if not then it seems like a generalization, no?
Theyre wrong more often than not, in my experience. Especially when its something i have read, or if the knowledge that thats what happens in the written material doesnt apply to the current situation
You can tell you won the argument when the other person starts shouting over you, starts attacking your intelligence or character and storms out.
Which book have you had recommended at you?
Not OP, but the bible’s a big one.
Well, depends on the font size and paper thickness.
