And he seems to retreat to name calling anytime he is cornered and has
no way out, such as the above. It is quite conceited of him to assert
that his 'exposing' nym-shifting is somehow singularly responsible for
his supposed observation of a reduction in the same. If anything, his
observation is more likely confirmation bias than anything. He started
expending effort in 'exposing nym-shifting'. As a result, in order to
not feel he was wasting his time, his sub-conscious believed it also
witnessed a reduction in nym-shifting. Actual reality is his one
person jihad on 'nym-shifting' likely had zero impact on anything, and
when presented with a logical argument to that effect, he immediately
retreats to name calling to avoid believing that he has been needlessly
expending effort for naught over all this time.
