It was a cop out because you realized you looked like a fool going on about your equation, but you couldn't actually explain your point because your point made no sense.
Until you admit that or actually produce the equation, you're going to get the same effort in my arguments as you've put into your own arguments.
So far this is the best you've come up with:
- My argument is right because of an equation I don't know and haven't thought about.
and
- I'm super analytical even though I don't understand this Wikipedia article says nothing about the point I'm trying to make.
