      Of course not! Why would I? I know you are arguing in good faith and totally respect and support my opinions, as I respect and support yours, even if they differ. Right?

                if i observe that water makes things wet, the water didn’t “help” me by simply being what it is.

                  But the water is not a person you are having a discussion with. I helped you make your point. And I said I am glad I could help. :)

                  So did I not help you make the point you were trying to make?

                    i see you’re struggling to comprehend the metaphor, so i’ll explain: no conscious act or decision of yours “helped” me. i simply observed you being yourself. you get no credit for that.
