Non sequitur.
That a concept applies to a successful business doesn't mean it's
useless for noncommercial activities.
Greg, I'm terribly sorry, but I think it's a waste of time arguing with you.
This doesn't mean that your beliefs and values are baseless or
something. It's just that I think you're not doing a good job at
explaining them in a way that I can accept, and that I'm not doing a
good job at explaining my beliefs to you in a way that you can accept.
Having to clear up non sequiturs, terminology, and dogma in your
reasoning made this a particularly unpleasant exercise for me, though
it's probably not your fault in particular (though I sincerely wish
you'd at least acknowledge arguments so that we know where we need not
revisit).
Again, I'm terribly sorry, but the discussion with you has become a
waste of my time (and probably of that of many others too), so I'm
stopping it right here, right now.
Regards,
Jo
