I'm going to echo the parent's sentiment here: > Honestly, have you read the book? Because the quote you provided is not from the book being discussed.

Because the quote you provided is not from the book being discussed.
- LudwigNagasena 6y agoI know it is not from the book being discussed and that’s why I didn’t say it is. That’s all I can say to this low-effort bad-faith response.
- albatruss 6y agoYou could confirm or deny whether or not you have actually read the book, having presented yourself two posts above as someone in a position to critique it. Is misrepresentation of expertise and talking past the people you're responding to not also a low-effort, bad faith act?
- LudwigNagasena 6y agoIt seems pretty obvious that I have read the book if I have an opinion about it. I don't start asking whether you have finished high school and whether you passed any reading comprehension or IQ tests. I think such questions are insulting and they don't lead to a fruitful conversation.
