Figs, you seem like a reasonable guy, so I'll give some advice: Don't try speaking anything approaching rationalism to Arrogant Demand. He lives in some bizarre bubble world filled up with snatches of statistics and libertarian screeds, and literally can't comprehend it when we ignorant plebes don't grasp his brilliant yet obvious analysis of the world.
Good show trying though!
Trust me, you'll learn there are some people on this Forum you can't begin to have a two-way communication with. The best you'll get is some verbal sparing practice.
Ooh! There's this friend of mine named Phil you should meet.....
