In your opening comment, you asked "Is that all that's worth discussing?"
The answer is no, but then again nobody claimed that it was. This was just the one article about the poverty line, so discussing something other than the poverty line is off-topic (which I called "illogical" from a debate perspective, in perhaps too formal of a tone, in hindsight)
- galaxyLogic 6y agoTrue. At the same time I don't think there is any rule set in stone that says everything that is not strictly explicitly in the article is "off-topic". Discussion can in my view include discussion about the discussion itself, its implicit preferences and assumptions. Putting too much effort into discussing what is off-topic and what is not, is kind of off-topic itself, I would say :-)
