- What a safe answer -- I think I'll use it all the time. Let me restate:
-
- "I'm not capable of presenting a coherent argument. The reason for that is
- that you wouldn't understand it. Therefore, we can dispense with the
- requirement for me to justify my position with any substantive data, and
- presume that I'm correct."
-
- Nice trick, if you can get away with it.
