This is getting irritating. Can Pein bring the standards or is he just speaking in riddles.
Yeah, what was up with his response?
“I’m tired of explaining it, I’m not making up standards.”
Then will you show us where we can find such a description within the standards if the arguments aren’t made up? Like Tilted said, these postulates are nowhere in the standards, are Pein himself knows as he’s participated in hypertimeline threads without bringing up these arguments. We’ve asked him to prove those are what the standards say, and he can’t do that one little thing.
“Just because something didn’t address you or you think you’ve debunked something, doesn’t make it true.”
Wow… this has to be the worst case of bad faith I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. I thought it was common sense that the opposition has the burden of rebuttal. Is that an outright admission of refusing to address the argument?
And then there’s Deagonx’s response.
Well, as it was explained earlier, we do not have a good reason to consider these as being separate time axes. The fact that a single timeline encompasses the entire cosmology doesn't really tell us it's an additional temporal axis, it actually leans more towards implying they all share a time axis. I also didn't consider anything written about the neutral space as helping us identify whether or not it has a temporal axis separate from the main cosmology.
How many times do we have to explain that the macrocosms must have their own time axes since we recognize them as 2-C? Tilted explained it, I explained it, Jaakor explained it, this derailment is absurd.
He doesn’t see how the neutral zone helps our argument? Maybe it’s because the timelines would consist of 4 dimensions of space and 2 of time? Maybe it’s because it debunks DDT’s model of a non-low 1-C overarching timeline applying to Dragon Ball?
Look… I’m getting the feeling that some staff and others are looking at the thread thinking “there go those toxic Dragon Ball fans berating anyone who doesn’t wank Goku,” but is it too much to ask that the opposition fulfill their basic burden of rebuttal? All we’ve seen is derailment tactic after derailment tactic.
They said the Macrocosms aren’t parallel space-times, but the wiki has rejected 3-A macrocosm time and time again which means any rebuttal in good faith
has to be done under the premise that the macrocosms are low 2-C to 2-C. They say time has to flow in a “different” direction to be a higher time axis, but the more we ask them to show where the standards say that, the more they try to deflect. The only person who’s put actual effort into refuting our argument was Reiner with the whole “timelines encompassing timelines can be modeled in a way that doesn’t fulfill low 1-C requirements,” but I responded to his argument in my second comment which nobody has responded to.
