RLBaty's Exercise is pointless

Mangani proposed that this last round should be comprised of a conclusion and a closing statement. I will try to oblige. CONCLUSION: Mangani has failed to make a legitimate attempt to demonstrate that the claim at the top of this page (i.e., "RLBaty's Exercise is Pointless") is true. It's usually not a good idea to so boldly affirm such a universal negative and Mangani has demonstrated why that is usually not a good idea. Mangani is certainly NOT UNusual regarding that issue. That "RLBaty's exercise is pointless" is simply false. I win! My "Goliath of GRAS"...still the one to beat! Still no "David"! Others are welcome to draw their own conclusion about that. CLOSING STATEMENT: As before, Mangani has opened his fifth round with another false claim: - (RLBaty's) arguments have simply been that - his argument is valid, and that his major - premise is true. That's simple false. There is a whole lot more to my exercise, but those two issues are typically found taking up most of the time because for years my adversaries have tried to impeach the claim that the "Goliath of GRAS" argument is so constructed that if its premises are true its conclusion will follow as true therefrom (that it is logically valid). For the few who have managed to get past that step and move on, they have typically balked at the simple, logical truth of the major premise, given the stipulations and the force and effect of sound, biblical, common-sense reasoning. Those are the simplest steps of the exercise. The substance of the exercise lies in the third step of the exercise and the discussion that follows. Mangani and others here are among those who have demonstrated, establishing one or more of "points" to the exercise, that many people lack the ability to properly demonstrate they possess certain, basic critical thinking skills necessary to properly evaluating what is a rather simple, straight-forward argument dealing with an important public issue and openly, honestly discuss the ramifications of a successful completion of the exercise. I think the wrapping up of this final round may be my last loose end at the Debate.Org venue. Thanks for all the demonstrations and the establishment of so many important "points" regarding my exercise. As I have noted before, the exercise not just for young-earth creation-science promoters. It's quite utilitarian as the experience here has "pointed" out over and over and over again. The light is still on for any who wish to do other than Mangani has done and are willing to come out, come clean and openly, honestly engage in a discussion of such issues of mutual interest and any continuing problems they may have regarding my argument and the claims I make for it...at my place: http://groups.yahoo.com... The archives are public and you don't have to be a member to post messages there. Mangani has been snooping around there but has refused to even post a note to let us know he had been by; as is requested on the home page. I suspect a number of others here have done likewise. It is just one other example of the extreme level of bad faith I have had to deal with regarding my misguided, critical-thinking-skills-challenged adversaries.
