< I don't agree with you that disproving the "flaws" on assumptions on which an argument is based is necessarily "getting stuck" etc. >

1.) No it's rarely flaws in assumptions of the main argument, that was my point. She does often change the subject to something more to her liking however.

2.) No, it wouldn't NECESSARILY have to be getting stuck... IMO she does.

<It's the sign of a mathematical mindset. >

You have to know when to use it [as you know]... the scientific method used on irrelevant material yeilds the same.

<What you call "picking small flaws" is, most probably, actually undermining your whole argument. >

I'm well aware of the scientific method, as well as it's many shortcomings in the social sciences.... your use of 'most probably' without extensive data is questionable for instance. Then again, perhaps you've followed this and other boards for quite some time, I don't know.

In any case what is 'scientific proof' in the realm of economics we could fit in a tea cup... we're all trying to divine the future and make money no?

Or of course you may just see it differently. It's all simply MO of course.
