Yeah, have the "experts" permitted your usage of this parable to illustrate your point? We must know this.

The problem with shitty parables is they're tantamount to sophistry.

You see no problem in passing off made up stories as fact?

Who told you that this is a fact? It's a story, and as far as I can see, a convincing one. If you see otherwise, you should explain yourself in terms that don't resort to ad hominem, and appeals to authority that I assume you don't have either.

So let me understand. You made up some facts (probably using your alt account), tried to pass them as real, and are now mad because I called you out on that?

Asking for a peer reviewed source is not a logical fallacy of any kind.

If you want to get mad at something, get mad at the people who make up "historical facts" on the internet to win arguments.

Noone is mad here, you're fighting with shadows. Go touch some grass. If you want to do science, get accepted in a research institute instead of schooling people over your made up standards, and get me an alternative story to argue against. You are still attacking the character and assuming that you have the authority and honestly, it's rather embarrassing for you at this point.
