I’m not arguing anything, silly goose.
***If it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and isn’t a goose, it’s probably a duck. You silly duck. Welcome to the world of inductive reasoning. Here’s a hint: don’t attack a 3-headed dog with a 2-pronged pitchfork.

I am offering the notion
***Such things are called “arguments”. But, what, are you somehow above it all... until you “offer a notion” and then stoop to call someone else’s offering a “strawman” argument? Get a grip.

See how far you get trying to raise another strawman.
***Well, now you seem to want to revert to actually calling this kind of exchange “argumentation” and suppose the other side is engaging in classic fallacies. Weren’t you supposed to be “above it all”, only offering a “notion”? And a notion that derives from silence, historically known as the invalid argument from silence.
