Maybe you're right. That's not how I interpreted it, obviously, but we'll see when he responds.

It sounded to me like he was saying that I was stating my conclusions about the evidence rather than showing the evidence on which those conclusions are based, and hence he couldn't argue with me. If that was all I did, and the claims of mine he quoted were all I said, then his response is fully valid. But I explained my failure to present evidence in my post, so criticizing it without mentioning my explanation is not particularly fair.

That's just my own interpretation of what he meant, though. I might indeed be wrong.
