Let's not discuss semantics here - when you repeat wrong statements even
though you have been corrected before without giving new arguments (or any
agruments,) you are factually ignoring them.

Claiming "I do not ignore them" when you clearly do doesn't work.

You answers or lack of them have nothing to do with it. It's what you
claim, not what you don't claim, that shows you are ignorant.

I can assure you, before adding a FAQ entry I would do my own research,
rather than trusting you blindly.

It's your job to properly explain yourself, not mine. My reply was

That's what I did, yes. Why do you think I should come to another
conlusion after reading it?

He ignored it and just repeated what he said before?
