No. No, you are not.
You are trying to falsely invoke Occam's razor as authority to bully your viewpoint onto us instead of dealing with the logical fallacy I pointed out in your argument.

On the panel in question, there is no doubt about the contact and the Dolon did deactivate.
Big. Fucking. Deal.
Yes, there is contact between Sarine's blade and Sara's
HAIR.
However, there is no proof of contact with Sara's head, or that this is the cause of the Dolon's deactivation. So cut the authoritarian "I'm right. You're wrong" crap. Seriously, you are becoming one of the worst for speculating and then trying to establish your speculation as fact and browbeat others into accepting it.
Also please note that I am not insisting that Sara deactivated the Dolon to avoid disemboweling Sarine, either. I am merely saying that it is also a possibility, and that untill we get confirmation we cannot say either way.
Sheesh...
"Sheesh" yourself. I am only following a logic train. If it has flaws then point them out. I'll go with logic. Logic is NOT pointing out fallacious debate rules, which I usually discount because they imply something false about my motivations. I am ONLY trying to interpret things that I see. If I fail to see something it is simply because I failed to see some thing. This isn't either the ICANN, IETF, or the IAB. So, stop attributing Machiavallien mechanations to my arguments. I am not trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
I also don't see myself being authoritarian here. If that's coming across than maybe I should quit posting here because that is ever so far from my intention. The ONLY authority is Poe, period! If I am impinging that
in any way then I will have worn out my effective stay here.
If this stops being a conversation (shown by kids trotting out the "rules for fallacious debates") then I have also worn out my relevence. Not only that, but it's also getting too serious and too polarized. I don't have such emotional investments in my conclusions. If I am wrong then bring out the relevent points but don't start quoting fallacious debate club rules, intended for sophmores.
BTW, every one of my speculations are just that, speculations. I know that and so do most of the folks here. Should I post disclaimers in my signature-line? I thought that folks here were smarter than that.
