Quite so!
No doubt 'the art of war' expounds on how people you have managed to get to lose their temper can't add 2 and 3 in that moment, but feel compelled to react/reply immediately, putting them at a great disadvantage.
IMHO stooping to these kinds of tactics in what should be a civilized debate with the goal of learning/concluding things is deplorable.
Imagine what would happen if these exchanges were face to face with all the people aerohead has used them on, on this forum alone!
Most disturbing is that he considers them and thus himself clever!
For anyone wondering who ademonrower is:
I’m basically a biochemist, and I like understanding how things work. I have a first degree from the University of Cambridge, UK, and a PhD jointly from the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the University of Cambridge. For 9 years I was a programme manager at the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), and then worked for 13 years as an Editor-in-Chief with the publisher Wiley-VCH. I have lived in Germany since 1999, and in 2021 I became entirely self-employed as an independent scientist, advisor and communicator. Favourite pastimes of mine are mending things instead of buying new, and finding ways of living more sustainably. I love sailing and music (I play piano and violin).
