Sometimes when people don't want an idea interrogated they arrange words around it like a moat. Construct intricate vocabularies that make it so you can only approach it from certain directions, never from the directions where it is weak to attack. Insist you use their vocabulary, debate on their terms. Sometimes I like to just walk directly into the moat. See, it's only ankle deep. This makes people upset. You're ignorant of the theory! No, I'm standing in the middle of it. It's just water dude
