No, you don't. > This saga shows you're the proven fuzzy writer. I think I've been extremely clear. Excruciatingly, tediously, tiringly so, in this post-mortem. I understood Jan. You didn't. So, if you don't understand me at least I'm in good company. Bill stated a fact--a fact unrelated to Jan's point, you contend below--without explaining what he thought it proved, or how it related. That's fuzzy writing. Bill could've said "The fact that France gets 80% of its electrical power from nuclear plants proves XYZ." That would've been clear writing. <snip> > >But Jan and I took it as a wrong answer to Jan's claim, that the very > >infrastructure we're using was built on fossil fuel. > > There was no answer because there was no question. Bill made a correct > claim in response to Jan's correct claim. And there we have it. Stating a new, unrelated fact is not a response, that's talking past someone. If Bill meant his claim as a related response, it was wrong. If he meant it as a new, interesting fact, it was non- responsive. Bill explains later that he meant it as a response, which is how I treated it. Either way, it leaves a misleading notion w.r.t. the extent of France's independence from fossil fuels I thought it interesting that even France is so dependent on fossil fuels. Even more than 82% (of total energy), if they use coal. -- Cheers, James Arthur
