Jlallen, > I have no idea what is referred to as "hand waving"...

You said it yourself. CJ is known to project his faults upon those he argues against. Look at the definition of handwaving and you'll see it perfectly fits his style:

en.wikipedia.org

The term handwaving is an informal term that describes either the debate technique of failing to rigorously address an argument in an attempt to bypass the argument altogether, or a deliberate gesture and admission that one is intentionally glossing over detail for the sake of time or clarity. It can be meant as an accusation or in a more positive light, depending on the context. It is also used in other situations, as for instance, "The Council has merely handwaved a solution to the traffic dangers at this intersection", meaning a claim of solution without actuality. In this sense, the solution has been achieved by public relations manipulations.
