[QUOTE="InzeladunMaster, post: 1559150, member: 9774"] To repeat myself, I teach my students to never make an assertion without backing it up with evidence. I am in that mindset, so if I make an assertion, I try to give an example or a bit of evidence to back the assertion up. It is a good debating technique, and I will likely continue the practice. I was trying to find insults in my post. I see the comment about the child could have been so percieved because I failed to back up my assertion about my feelings with evidence. My apologies. Your post was of the "Why this, why that?" variety, which is often how children approach statements of assertions and observations of circumstances. That is all I meant. See what happens if I fail to give evidence of an assertion, even one that is simply a statement of position? I would answer the questions posed, but you will have to clarify them for me. First, what exactly are you assuming is being revealed here? I do not understand the underlying assumption. Second, the second question seems to be more of a fragmented statement than a question. It does serve to define the "which" referred to in the former question, so it should probably be included as a subordinate clause in the original question. If you will define what exactly is being revealed, I will happily attend to your question. If you want to modify the second question so it is actually asking something, I will attend to that as well.
