He finally gives a straight answer, finally revealing what we have
always been sure of: he doesn't know the meaning of "pontification."

"Pontificate" does _not_ mean 'make a claim without offering any
substantiation for it'.

Someone finally asked a straight question, Daniels. You should try
that approach sometime rather than relying on antagonism.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Incorrect. He was still "a ass" [sic] about it. Note the classic,
erroneous and unsubstantiated invectivity of the pontifical utterance above
(uttered in a metaphorical sense). Specifically: "Is it really that hard to
figure out?"

Hey! Me too! Yummy!

(classic "me too" post)

PS - If you're ever in the Jacksonville (FL) area, try to find Singleton's
Seafood Shack, just outside of town on the landward side of the Intercoastal
(it's right next to a ferry terminus across from Amelia Island). They've got
the best damn fried seafood you've ever had in your life.
