If you choose to change the context, and inform the other participants of the change, then yes, you could be correct.

However, I find that you choose to change the context without informing the people you are communicating with. 

You also tend to take a conversation that has a broad context and narrow it down upon your own whim, then expand it back out, as the need arises. It's difficult to have a meaningful debate when the target is moving. 

Consequently, I suggest you watch "Conspiracy Theory", and compare yourself to Jerry, the character played by Mel Gibson. You may find some interesting parallels.

Further, I refuse to debate anything with you, unless we first define what we are debating. Without a common frame of reference, no meaningful dialog will be forthcoming.

Well, yeah, otherwise my shoes would tie themselves.
