    They literally did

    Post asks why doesn’t x happen, they answer “because people like cars”

    They never once gave it a value judgement, that’s on you

      Pretending they didn’t respond again expanding on it is funny. Plus it was an argument against the given one. It wasn’t explaining why it’s not that way. It was explaining why it shouldn’t. Since that’s the structure of the given argument above.

      When someone says we should do X and then you just respond with “no, people love y” you’re explicitly arguing it’s a reason against. We obviously know people have cars. There is no value add to the discussion if it’s truly what you claim, that they are just pointing out the current state of affairs. That’s ludicrous. You’re basically saying “no, they’re just stupid.”
