no, it’s what you’re questioning in the first place; the title of you post:

and I answered your question with the facts. and failing to understand the logic isn’t the same as ‘disagreeing’ with it– ignorance isn’t and ’opinion’, it’s just being wrong. just like framing my factual explanation as a debate so your lack of understanding can be framed as ‘just your opinion’ and therefore valid doesn’t make it so.
