If that’s a steelman then it’s definitely at forging temperature (which jet fuel btw can achieve easily), collapsing under its own weight.

I don't understand. I simply agreed with the previous poster. Do you disagree with anything I wrote?

Not quite sarcasm, not quite reductio ad absurdum. It's just a reminder of certain psychological realities.

Don't see how you get that.
