It's a bad-faith fallacy because the OP's point holds even if the playing field is level and the state doesn't have an advantage in any other component than the stated one (time). The bad-faith comment (yours) instead reversed it, implicitly claiming the state was negatively positioned with respect to factors other than time, and pretended that was the OP's argument.
- ultrarunner 7y agoThe state is negatively positioned; it has poor-to-no feedback with regard to the personal outcomes of its implementations. Parents and students do, on an ongoing and daily basis. The idea that I "pretended" that this was anyone else's argument but my own seems completely absurd. While I'm glad you're able to infer implications, it would be wonderful if you could take it a step further to find that an argument cannot be true if a necessary premises is false. That's not bad faith, that's logic.
