But you're just trying drag this on as long as possible by manufacturing
an argument where there is none.
If you look at what you wrote below, it says: "Please accept my word
that the attempt to upgrade pip broke when it tried to install Visual
Studio 2015".
To what does the word "it" refer?
Normal English usage would suggest that "it" refers to "pip", so that
would kind of indicate that you were saying that it was pip that tried
to install Visual Studio 2015.

That's what we are not wanting to do - to merely accept your
word that something so utterly illogical as "Python insists
on installing VS2015" should be happening. We want
tracebacks, not assertions. So no, I won't accept your word
that this is pip's fault.
