I don't really see pointing out a legitimate problem with an argument as "wounding" someone
Wouldn't it have been a beautiful world if everyone thought of it that way!
I share your opinion on this. Hey: there's a problem with source X you're using. If you use someone else, your argument will be even stronger!
It would've been an even more awesome world if everyone responded in the way you describe. I've yet to see that happening, though.
The fragility of the conversation is not the point. So many people's drive to knock the conversation down just for its own sake, is what I'm talking about. That may not include you, but the observation kind of sticks out after a few similar cases that I've observed within a short time span.
But don't mind me. I'm just a fragile little snowflake who doesn't know what he's talking about. Do proceed if you please.
