If your point was that I did not give you enough statistical information or that I did not give you, the unknown to me, number of citations to support that the Chicago school system is among the worst in the nation, that would convince you, I got that point along time ago. At some point I think I wrote that if you don't accept what I know, do your own homework.

My point was that your premise was flawed because it was based on flawed assumptions. No amount of me "doing my own homework" will validate your assumptions because you yourself didn't bother to check their validity (or even necessarily acknowledge their existence).
Whether your perspective is ultimately correct or not is irrelevant. A broken clock is right twice a day (provided it's mechanical). Frequently, the chain of logic by which a conclusion is reached is just as important as the conclusion itself. Your chain of logic was flawed, and my attempts to point out the flaws to you were met with indifference or avoidance.
This is just one example of what it's like arguing with you. Normally I wouldn't bother with this type of exposition, but you asked.
