but global supply has increased since then. you also haven't quantified demand.

you said they don't make them, but that was a lie, and i called it out.

did you try stopping? did it have any impact?

how do you quantify demand and can you show me a case where it has ever been true?

when you state a falsehood, and i call it out, it's not pedantry: it's honesty.

it's a fallacious form of reasoning where claiming that the correlation of events implies causation. "it happened after, therefore it was caused by" as in.... veganism increased with policing and surveillance.

you're the one proposing a causal mechanism. it is on you to provide evidence. simply disbelieving (or suspending judgement) is the only rational course until evidence is provided.

they stopped making them

you can still buy them new.

When there was no money in VHS they stopped making them.

post hoc, ergo propter hoc

I mean it’s been tested.

what was the control?

"influences" is a pretty weasley word. show me a formula that actually (as in, verifiably) predicts how "demand" (a pretty weasley word itself) influences supply (probably the only concept for which we will be able to produce quantifiable numbers)

Shared responsibility applies to this discussion.

it would if my interactions with the agriculture industry were anything like your analogy. they're not, so it doesn't.

i don't have any responsibility. there is nothing to absolve. all of the responsibility for the actions of free agents is on the actors themselves.

how can we test your hypothesis?

but because of how disanalogous your explanation is to the facts on the ground, your explanation is moot. you might as well have explained the housing market. one has nothing to do with the other.

your sarcasm doesn't undermine the facts.

and you can see that we have each presented and equal amount of proof.

my comments are concise, and i don't require "word spaghetti" to explain flaws in your arguments.

That’s just obtuse pedantry.

this is a thought-terminating cliche.
