  1. If I go back to what you regard as the main point, my expectation is that another sub-point will come up where you're wrong. I expect that will repeat indefinitely because you do not appreciate and resolve corrections on sub-points, and the errors on sub-points will prevent successful resolution of the main point(s). I think this has already been happening. *Do you have a solution to this problem to propose?*

  3. I'm also finding it difficulty to understand your perspective here and also finding your responses unhelpful when I've tried to get more information about it (I still don't know why, from your perspective, it was a good idea to write a strongly worded and false statement that contradicted one of my important claims, and I still have not found out whether you knew it was false at the time you wrote it or you've learned something new or what).

  5. Meanwhile, I don't think you understand my perspective nor do you seem interested in it. I don't see how you could be mentally modeling me such that you could expect your latest few comments to seem like good comments to my perspective. And you have not been (as far as I can tell) seeking information about my perspective in order to mentally model me better. You don't seem to be paying much attention to what I'm trying to do or why, which is one of the reasons you've written a series of responses which are (from my perspective) ambiguous, incorrect or uninformative on the issues I've been trying to talk about. When neither of us has an effective mental model of what's going on with the other person, we won't make progress. I suspect you want to avoid mental models and focus on the epistemology issues – something like that – but we're trying to communicate about complex matters and that requires mental models

  7. (The need for mental models to facilitate complex communication is actually a similar issue to the need for a conceptual/explanatory understand of an empirical population in order to deal with it effectively. In both cases, blind assumptions won't work, nor will a bad model made subconsciously with little thought. Instead, people need to think about and understand various aspects of the context of what they're doing.)
