1. I did read the article. I simply wasn't interested in arguing with you about its contents to prove I had. 2. The article was taking about some specific data points and some vague data points. The ambiguity I am referring to is in the data provided by a vague question's answers. Asking if people want to be in a relationship does not tell us clearly and unambiguously what kind of relationship they are interested in. 3. The article is treated as a topic for discussion here. I'm allowed to expand discussion to other closely related information. Taking about a general trend that applies to all relationship studies, when the topic is a relationship study, is not a strawman or way off topic. You are just gatekeeping conversation.
