Is there anything you own at least one of but fewer than ten thousand of? You should get rid of it immediately.

  I'm pretty sure generalizing "going to Mars" to "anything whatsoever" is a bit of a non sequitur.

    If you don't think it's a general property of things worth doing, what in particular about going to Mars means it's only worth doing at scale? It's a frankly bizarre claim that you've so far made totally unsupported.

      Obviously I meant there are specific aspects of going to Mars that justify the statement, even if I didn't list them. I am not required to laboriously explain the justification behind any statement I make. We could discuss this further if you like. Your assumption that I had no such aspects and meant that as a universal rule is clearly not listening to me in good faith.

        It's definitely not obvious if you spout off something that sounds like a platitude without elaboration that you actually only mean something very specific (let alone what specifically you mean), and while you're correct that you're not actually obligated to do so, you should provide some explanation if you have any interest in communicating effectively. Failing to do so is likely to lead to misunderstandings. But you've repeatedly missed opportunities to explain your position, even dodging explicit requests for clarification. That seems more like bad faith than just not reading your mind correctly.
