I saw... you responded with a lie about "features". Why do I jump straight to a "lie" and not give you the benefit of the doubt? Keep reading...

You're lying here, too. I didn't 'paraphrase' Snit, I quoted him... as anyone can clearly see. I doubt two blatant inaccuracies in a row is a coincidence, liar.

Fact: Snit's quoted statement is about set theory.

Fact: Snit's quoted statement doesn't require any additional context to show that his statement is erroneous on the topic of set theory.

Irrelevant. Snit's erroneous, self contained statement is about set theory and it's a statement that has *all* the context needed to see how confused he is on that topic.

LOL! The word "item" is not a "typo" for a "feature of an item, no matter how high you are, liar.  I don't get it, why are you repeatedly lying and doing it in ways that are ridiculous?  No matter... that's the 3rd lie in a row so you're out.

LOL! Snit referenced all kind of things in numerous ways in his *many* arguments on incest, there are TONS of them...  he often argued BS (and this isn't the first time Snit had confusion over set theory). 

Even if this was just a simple, isolated error (and it isn't), no one would deserve having it pointed out more than Snit, who has actually done such things for over a decade (and much worse). BTW, you lie no better than he does, you should work on that if you care about not being detected.
