Your comments are not relevant to the truth or falsity of the
statement I made.
You are making inferences based upon it that are neither what it says
nor implies. I have made no assumptions about your studies. I have
stated a fact based upon your statements and my own knowledge of the
subject areas mentioned that is independent of what you have studied
or know.
If you want to play philosopher and state opinions about philosophy,
you have to learn how to read and respond with precision rather than
interpret words loosely. Otherwise, you are just spouting the same
bullshit that you have stated you despise.

The fact is you don't know what I know about philosophy or

that there's a whole realm of what I know that you're not privy
to... or likewise don't know? The fact that I didn't express my
thoughts with dictionary precision (remember words frequently have
numerous related definitions) is rather irrelevant.
The point is you should not assume to know what I've studied or not
studied.
Since scientists and philosophers themselves, frequently disagree
in earnest about where the philosophical/scientific lines meet and/
or cross over each other, I think I'm in at least that good of
company.

My statement, quoted below, was "With these statements, you
demonstrate little study of Philosophy or Science."
The statement is true, regardless of your opinions about the subject.

But for you to make a blanket statement regarding "you

Science" which really means "you don't know much", is rather
ludicrous based on how much we really know of each other.
I find philosophy, especially as popularly taught is all too
frequently someone else's own random mental meanderings with no
connection to objective truth.
I can come up with my own postulations just as easily and they
would have equal validity.
Too much of what is being taught as wisdom and knowledge is
simply either supposition or garbage.

With these statements, you demonstrate little study of
Philosophy or Science.
