» Irrelevance vs inconvenience: another source of befuddlement   2005-06-02 15:48 Clever Dick

"Questions I inconveniently can't answer aren't questions, and trust me, I am right."

The question I didn't answer was "[W]ill the socially optimal level be provided by Govenrment?". I didn't answer it because, whatever answer I gave - eg, "yes", "no", "maybe" or "42", that answer would not invalidate the argument that government should provide defence. Thus, it was irrelevance, rather than inconvenience, that caused me to not answer it. Of course, it is not suprising that "The Befuddled One" should have been unable to tell the difference.
