The confusion came from what we were talking about. I was comparing the ineffectiveness of the toll to me just saying hey car pay me to drive down my street. You interpreted that in a different way to compare the shipping traffic. Fair enough, I didn't catch that which is why my comments probably seem so weird - I thought what was being pointed out was the impact of the Strait being closed as in nobody can afford gas, there aren't any cars on the road!
The reason the car analogy is bad in the way that you used it is because when you use it, you have to look at the entire map and you just see like yea some lane is blocked. An important one sure, but it's just one piece of the overall flow of traffic. You're saying hey look at how bad it is that this one lane is closed, and I'm looking at the broader picture there.
- ceejayoz 5mo ago> The reason the car analogy is bad Again: your analogy.
- ericmay 5mo agoNope. I was talking about the toll concept, not cars. > I don’t make LLM assertions frequently or lightly. You shouldn't make them at all. Not only are you wrong in this case but it's against the site rules and doesn't add value to a conversation.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoAgain: I said “I'm referring to the fucking Strait of Hormuz” and you helpfully linked me to Ohio’s traffic cams in response. The alternative explanation is you can’t be bothered to read what you’re replying to, no matter how short and clear.
- ericmay 5mo agoI've already explained myself and have tried to do so charitably. It's up to you to choose how to act. If you want to keep comparing ships in the Strait of Hormuz to cars, I'll just say again that it's a bad comparison that you're making because all it really means is there's a roadblock in one spot but traffic flows great everywhere else.
