The justification is in trying it.
So, other people need to justify it.
It only takes one exception to prove it wrong.
So, the burden of evidence is on other people. That's not how it works.
Truth needs no justification as it constantly replicates. My opinion is irrelevant.
You're now conflating justification with opinion. And in fact all you offered was an opinion and then as justification an opinion about your first opinion.
My case is prima facie and the burden of proof is elsewhere.
All that academic proof crap doesn't add anything useful here.
I can imagine it's inconvenient for you.
Let me rephrase;
Mind IS! a metaphore for the patterns in the brain.
That's what it has always been. That's all it has ever been, and any exception you may think you've found is less true and less useful than this.
And repeating an assertion is not justification. This isn't academic crap. It's used in contexts from the law, to arguments in relationships, to formal debates, to police investigations to....all over the place.
The only people who effectively believe what you are saying here about arguments are dictators - who can enforce their opinions, so they don't need justifications (of course, many do anyway) and mystics.
To sum up your response: my statement was correct because it is really correct. And you wonder why you haven' won a Nobel Prize.
