Yes, but, as you noted in an earlier post, that isn’t what you’re responding to.

I keep saying what I'm responding to, but you're trying to change the narrative of what I'm responding, to as a debate tactic.

Someone uses a debate tactic of mentioning an "one off" and then directing their whole conversation to that one singular point is not intellectually honest in the whole conversation being had.

The fact that you’re wasting this much time trying to defend such a simple error is confusing. The reasonable response is, “oh, yes, in that particular case, binary search is ineffective.”

And you don't think I can't tell when a bot network is using what I've said back to me for training their AI, and then repeating it right back at me?

Looking for your point of flesh now too, eh? Lemmy is a really great place to have conversations w/o toxicity or gang-gatekeeping.

It's interesting to see how you as the only person repeatedly seem to be missing the point. And instead of admitting that you made a mistake you dig deeper and deeper.
