Pages and pages of someone arguing because they can't tell the difference between my argument and my supporting details.
If people wanted to question the details of what was said, then they should probably look up the details of what was said rather than look into if its true in game.
That little illogical assumption right there transcended assumption and jumped right into presumption and lead to pages of people arguing nonsense.
People need to be less confusing... and I'm not talking about me.
To put it another way. What I said wasn't confusing, but the counter arguments were very good misdirections that couldn't possibly be resolved due to being posed in a way that was so inaccurate as to be difficult to understand.
The only thing I could have been wrong about was whether or not they said that or whether or not non era characters should be in platoons. The latter was my assertion so could only be disproved by no non era characters being in platoons. The former was my paraphrasing of what they said and could only be disproved by quotes of the devs saying something different more or less.
So producing platoons as a counter argument could only logically disprove my main argument, not the supporting detail. It was a supporting detail about their mindset was perceived to be at the time platoons were still new things. Not what their mindset eventually ended up being. Present circumstances have nothing to do with Dev's former mindsets.
