It's not a logical fallacy at all, you just refuse to admit that you've been soundly proven wrong. Why would people buy lots of flex if dot building was a flaw in the game as opposed to a strength? They buy flex
because they like making dots. That's an undeniable, unavoidable fact.

Do you realize that the only reason that you think you've won arguments is because, in the end, no one likes arguing with someone who thinks that yelling the longest and loudest makes them win the argument? When the other side stops arguing with you, it isn't because you were right, it is because they realize that talking to a wall is just counter productive.People quit arguing with me because at some point the defensiveness of being humiliated is overcome by the sting of additional humiliation. What shows I've "won arguments" is not only the superiority of my position (
as evidenced here by you having no rebuttal for flex sales being incontrovertible proof that ALGs and the build process have been a good thing), but also because time almost always proves me correct. The things I say are borne out. Time and time again, what I said would happen does happen. It's only the rare exception that allows people with wounded egos to throw it back in my face, relished all the more because they waited so long for the opportunity.

The fact that my dots don't fit into your system doesn't mean that they aren't good dots, it means they aren't the right dots for your team... or it means that you lack creativity and can't figure out how to use a dot that doesn't look like the model you have in your head.Every time I think you've established a new height for your ignorance, you find a way to top it. If you had any familiarity with the WL and the high levels of this game you would undoubtedly know that I'm one of the most creative and flexible coordinators. I'm the one who came up with strength OLBs to counter blocking TEs. I went from a 4-3 with early Providence to a 3-4 base later on. I've used basically every type of defensive dot there has ever been except for interception dots, which I hadn't tried until recently. Note that I'm not saying your dots are bad. They aren't. But you aren't even remotely close to my level as a dot builder, nor are you of sound WL quality. You're a roster filler on below average WL teams, and even that has only been made possible because the supply of high level dots is at an all-time low.

I think it well documented that having to resort to insults to the other side's intelligence is indicative of a lack of creativity, understanding, and intelligence not on the part of the one being insulted, but rather on the one who lays the insult. This is the third straight post where you felt the need to do so. Interesting.That's something certain people tell themselves and their peers to feel better about their inferiority, much in the same way as the similar contention that intelligent people don't say that they're intelligent. Both are social tools designed to constrain the behavior of the gifted. Insults or the lack thereof have no correlation with the quality of the argument. You can be right and be a dick about it, just as you can be wrong while perfectly nice. Insults indicate exasperation and/or disdain. I have become progressively angry with you because you didn't correct yourself after my initial rebuke, as it annoys me when those who are wrong fail to correct themselves.
