I say something, you respond, I make a point, you argue the point, you refine your argument, I shift my ground. But in the end, which one of us is right? How do we settle things, who has the last word?

It was not his duty to argue the point with Counsel, but he stakes (đặt cược) his credit upon the fact. If it be admissible (được chấp nhận) on certain points, he ought to have received it; but then, if inadmissible on other points, how is it to be dealt with? 

But it is therein admitted, that Noble's counsel (lời khuyên) declined to argue the point, though requested; from which we cannot but infer (suy luận), that they thought the objection unfounded. The decision itself has never since been questioned, or denied.

You've also not once put a valid argument about feeding the children, you've only argued about my character. Because it's easier to say I'm virtue signalling (ra vẻ quan tâm), or straw manning (ngụy biện), then actually argue the point. You're wasting time with no real substance (nội dung). So I'm off.
