That was the entirety of the response.  Teitz edited out the paragraphs
preceding, in which I showed in detail the fallacy of his argument.  I ask
you: Is this an intellectually honest way to discuss the subject?

(Besides which, he didn't even respond adequately to the little piece he
left in!  As I said, the normal rules may not apply, but the argument does
not even make sense under the SPECIAL rules Teitz tried to introduce.)
