I am going to answer every single one of your arguments. I am going to do so at the rate of one argument a week. This is because I realize that fruitful discussion takes time, and because huge walls of text serve only to bludgeon the opposition into fear of replying, because they'll be seen somehow as weak if they don't answer all of your enormously long-winded claims at once. They might teach Rhetoric in your fancy Ivy League schools, but us mountain boys have talked to a few swindlers in our time too.
So for this week: I challenge you to prove that Mt. Everest is actually that tall. Have you ever climbed it? What did you do, drop a weighted rope from the top? That's a good method for checking the depth of a body of water, but on Mt. Everest, it wouldn't work, because Mt. Everest forms a triangle shape, so you'd actually be measuring the distance up the slope.
