I don't know why it's my fault that you inferred that "don't go to the DMV" was my central thesis, when my original comment was clearly focused on the fact that a national ID system would prevent SSN misuse. Not using DMVs was tangential.
- SilasX 7y agoYou specifically said, >SN misuse will stop once the USA has a secure national ID that is free and easy to get (don’t have to go to a DMV). It looked like that nebulous "no DMV" was a core criterion. I recommend you would flesh out ambiguous criteria like that more as you did in the follow-up.
- parsimo2010 7y agoThat thought was in parentheses. According to commonly accepted writing style, that indicates that the thought is ancillary and not completely necessary to the argument being made. It’s perfectly acceptable to ask for clarification on something, but it’s rude to attack me, doubly so in this case because it’s from you misinterpreting something and not me insulting you first. I’m done with this thread, unless you care to bring the discussion back on topic.
