I brought up that ease of access was significantly different then and now. That’s the lived experience I brought to the greater conversation. You didn’t argue that I was wrong about that ease of access, you decided to bring its effect into the conversation and said it didn’t matter. I made no reference to the effects in my original comment because it wasn’t about that. It was about ease of access being different. Only after you brought up effect did the conversation shift that way.

You left your thought and argument (whatever that was), incomplete. That’s your prerogative, but it’s a poor debate technique if your hope is to convince someone of your opinion.
