Does the rebuttal being "fairly obvious, oft-repeated" somehow mean that nobody actually uses it or it somehow doesn't deserve mention? If people are repeating

Does the rebuttal being "fairly obvious, oft-repeated" somehow mean that nobody actually uses it or it somehow doesn't deserve mention? If people are repeating it, they're repeating it.
- gfodor 5y agoRepeating it is fine, but the longer time goes on where it’s repeated, the more the person proposing it looks like they think their opponents are just deficient not merely ignorant of the argument. The person here did us the favor of revealing their belief that their opponents are deficient, so that is helpful in reducing the weight of their post, but often this isn’t so obvious.
