I believe you are making a mistake. I worked at Texaco for 16 years on board Texaco's oil tanker fleet. During long voyages, poker games would start; I never played (they were highstakes). One day one of my shipmates asked,

“Bob, you want to play a few hands?”

I said, “no.”

“Why?,” he asked.

“For the same reason you want me to play,” I answered.

You said,

“they reject elementary truths as simplistic, so I give it to them in a completely rigorous and intuitively formal.”

Don't play on their terms. If “they” reject elementary truths i.e. “you can't have your cake and eat it too” there is no point in tying to convince them buy using some type of argument derived from that truth. The individuals you are trying to convince are either fools or venal. Their errors are not innocent.

Btw: When reality wins out, the folks you've been arguing with are going to have a "religeous experience" in the gold market.
