The flat-earther is saying something demonstrably false, then ignoring evidence  of this. But what Sebastian said is true. Toys'R'Us' price is significantly lower than at his gaming store. You admit this is true, you're even explaining why it's true.You seem to think it's self-evident that your explanation should change Sebastian's views. So you're frustrated that it hasn't. But that's far from self-evident; it's not even remotely the straightforward factual matter that the earth's shape is. Sebastian is under no obligation - intellectual, or as far as I can see, moral - to care why the price is lower. If the fact that it is lower is the only factor he finds relevant, then your explanation is just so much noise. You don't have to like that, but comparing him to a flat-earther for it makes you the immature one, not him.</blockquote>
