That guy's argument strategy, I see, is to throw out names of the societal elite or historical figures and hope it makes him look smart.
I can do that, too.
Nikola Tesla was quite electrifying with his imagination.
See how little bearing that has on the argument, other than to derail it completely and make me look like a pompous ass who throws names and numbers and big words at the screen in a futile effort to appear smart?
