Sorry Craig, I didn’t really answer your main question. I think there is value in taking the “what if you are correct” approach, but only if you really know what your response is going to be and where the other side’s “correctness” leads. But as an avenue of discovery from a position of ignorance on any passage, it can be quite dangerous. So tread carefully. In your own mind, the question really should be: “although I know you aren’t correct and I know exactly why you aren’t correct, let’s explore what a horrible world it would be if you were correct in hopes that you will see the light.” BTW – I welcome that approach from the other side. I am more than happy to defend the egal position from accusations that IT would lead to something bad.

(To all – sorry for all my typos. I’m typing fast and not really proofing. I will try to be more careful)
