More about Aristotle that many of us already know, but no engagement of
anything I wrote, let alone anything Jonathan wrote.

And if you look a little closer to what I had written, rather than
concentrating on Aristotle, you'll see that I never commented on any of the
substance of what you or Jonathan wrote. I stuck to the rhetorical methods in
which you chose to (mis)engage Jonathan's essay.

But, since you ask, yes, I do tend to trust what Jonathan says over what you
say.
