If you've found contradictions in what I'm saying, I'd be interested, but you need to find them in things I've actually said. I certainly haven't said the thing you've put in quotation marks here.

I have previously brought you a plain and obvious example of a contradiction, and you denied that it was a valid example.

Now you want this poster to believe that if they were to just bring examples, you would be interested for reasons other than arguing against their validity.

    I said I'd be interested, not that I would automatically agree! That would be a bit silly to commit to, no?

    If you're going to mention a "plain and obvious" example, you should link to it so users can make up their own minds about how plain and obvious it is.

    Re contradictions: there probably are contradictions in the principles I've been describing, because the problem we're trying to solve is complex enough to involve tradeoffs. Perhaps this is what whalesalad means by "You can’t have your cake and eat it too bud."
