But you pretty  much have to. If your interlocutor is a shill, one  
who will present arguments whether she believes them or not, your  
only  option is to say 'the debate is over' and move on.

The  other alternative leads to paralysis because she can invent wild  
hypotheses faster than  you can evaluate them. And paralysis is  
exactly what she  wants.


You  probably get lots of spam  extolling fantastic investment  
opportunities. Do you do due diligence on all of them or  do you use  
a spam filter?
