It's not a defense. It's refining the criticism to be more believable, and therefore more likely to be believed. If anything, I'm helping your argument.

Dude - you're the guy who called me delusional earlier.

I have no idea what your game is now - but I'm not playing.

  • Your confusion is understandable given your own (excruciatingly obvious) motives.

    • No need for insults, friend. It weakens your position.

      But sure, if I actually need to, let me spell it out.

      The statement: "He is a liar" is stronger than the statement "He is a liar who sometimes tells the truth", despite the fact that the second is more detailed. Extraneous details distract from the main argument. Also - there is almost no example in the world of someone who makes only false statements. It's a ridiculous insertion.

      I hope you can understand why your suggestion above is nonsensical.
