Of course my point was most folks who happened to be sitting in the middle of a standing wave wave would be blissfully unaware if it. Duh!A suggestion to go jump in the lake is what we call argumentum ad hominem. Which is a logical fallacy. I.e., a poor argument. It's always best to stick to the topic at hand. 😛

Your point was neither supported nor even on topic if that was your point.
"A suggestion to go jump in the lake is what we call argumentum ad hominem. Which is a logical fallacy. I.e., a poor argument."
No, it's an insult for the sake of insulting someone. In this case you. The ad hominem fallacy is an insult for the sake of countering the argument by discrediting the person one is arguing with. Anyone with even a modest level of intelegence should be able to understand that telling one to go jump in a lake or take a long walk off a short peer etc. etc. is not an ad hominem argument but merely a garden variety insult strictly for the purpose of insulting someone.
"It's always best to stick to the topic at hand."
No doubt. You might consider taking your own advice in this case. 😛
Go jump in the lake.
Given your inability to tell the difference between an ad hominem argument and a garden variety insult. Or....did you actually learn something?
