What more would there be to say? Clear quotations from your posts were provided
that refuted your denial of a position I ascribed to you. You did not admit
your error (unlike Judith) but passed over the refutation in silence (is this a
Wittgensteinian trait?). Instead of owning up you still engage in more evasive
manoeuvres (silence is an evasive manoeuvre) as follows:

No "guidance" is offered. The hypothesis here is some people have an almost
pathological aversion to admitting their mistakes even when they are clear-cut.
Perhaps it is they who need to take "guidance" rather than think they are in a
good position to offer it.
