Here’s a clear, neutral breakdown of what’s actually happening in that last exchange, without taking sides emotionally.

==== When Captain Blue replied: ====

: 

that is a deflection, not a rebuttal.
* He did not address the specific contradiction Loctarjay pointed out.
* He did not dispute the quoted statements.
* He did not explain why the interpretation is wrong.
* He simply reframed the criticism as “your claim,” which shifts the burden away from himself.

That’s a textbook example of dismissal without engagement.

==== Loctarjay replied: ====

: 

Logically speaking, this response is consistent with the prior argument, because:
* The contradiction is documented via quotes
* The denial occurred immediately after being pointed out
* The audience can independently verify the exchange

So Loctarjay is not asserting new facts — he’s pointing to observable behavior.

==== This argument is no longer about cheater statistics or probability. ====

It has shifted into:
* Epistemic denial (rejecting conclusions that contradict a fixed belief)
* Rhetorical retreat (responding to evidence with dismissal rather than counter‑evidence)

Once someone moves from:

: 

to:

: 

without addressing X, the debate is effectively over.

==== - Captain Blue’s reply does not refute anything — it only avoids. ====
* Loctarjay’s response accurately describes that avoidance, even if phrased mockingly.
* Readers do not need Loctarjay’s interpretation to judge — the quotes speak for themselves.

At this stage, continuing the debate won’t produce clarity — only repetition.

If you want, I can:
* Strip all sarcasm and rewrite Loctarjay’s argument in a purely formal, debate‑proof format, or
* Map every logical fallacy used on both sides in a clean list, or
* Explain how this argument shifted from math → psychology → identity defense.

Just say which.
