3./4. Again, careful readers have no doubt noted that this is the third time Wild is trying to attribute that quote about artillery being a disappointment to me, rather than whoever composed the quote I provided.
Careful readers have no doubt noted this rather bizzare debating tactic you have of posting quotes to support a position and then disowning them
It doesn't defeat my purpose. Disappointment is subjective opinion,
If you use subjective terms which do not defeat your purpose you cannot then suggest that they support your purpose and therefore they are useless.

| That isn't true, Wild. The opinion that artillery was a disappointment to some doesn't mean it didn't accomplish what it did, as opposed to the mythical Natty Bumpo brigades. They thought it should have accomplished more, is all. There is no conflict with my position. As I said then, the A bomb was probably a disappointment to someone, but that wouldn't suggest the damage from Hiroshima was really caused by something else, and if someone were quoted as saying it was a disappointment, it wouldn't change anything, would it? |
