Reply #45: Enough of this. I'll cop to my mistake; will you admit yours? [View All]

Fine, I could have been clearer. This does not say it's going to happen ON the 19th; that's your claim. This says that his word was for the 19th. Announcing a speech for the 18th after that does lead one to believe he'd announce it earlier, and he intimated that he might do so, but the drop-dead decision deadline was offered as the 19th.

Here's my original quote:

"He could announce in the middle of a meteorite impact and serve the purpose of living up to his word and giving fellow candidates fair warning. His word, incidentally was for the 19th, two days from now."

NOTHING in that statement claims he'd announce ON the 19th, and nothing in that statement said he wouldn't announce before; that statement says that the date he'd repeatedly quoted for a date BY WHICH he'd make his decision known was the 19th.

Yep, I posted in haste, then re-read your post, realized you'd put words in my mouth, amended mine, and then saw your response.

The FACT remains that I never said he'd make it public ON the 19th. Okay? My response was done too quickly, and did not address your incorrect interpretation of my statement. My mistake. Now cop to your mistake: how does anything in my initial statement claim he'd say it ON the 19th? It doesn't.
