    Pxtl’s response is a straw man argument. Nevermind the dumb comment, the “wait and see” argument is disingenuous and insulting.

        A pithy quote proves nothing. You can come up with duelling aphorisms for almost any issue. For example:

        Remembering everything is not the only solution. Perhaps, forgetfulness can make us live in peace too.

      It’s not a strawman. It’s an actual man that existed and did the thing. It’s history.
