Comment on Why can't I argue against claims of suffering?

I'm not even sure exactly what you're asking here, but emotional states like suffering are subjective expressions of feeling, not opinions.

Trying to arguing about some else's experiences with regards to suffering is like trying to argue that someone isn't happy, sad, cold, warm, hungry, thirsty, tired, scared, etc.

As always the ultimate authority on how a person thinks and feels is the person themselves. In other words, you can argue opinions (hopefully based on a foundation of unarguable, objective facts), but it makes no sense to try to argue against another person's feelings.
