Um, Socratic Method? Ancient Greece? Foundation of western thought and civilization? No?
Okay, um....
Zhuang Zi? Seminal text of Daoism? Not that either?
Oh! I know! Creating a reasoned argument instead of resorting to logical fallacy? Okay, this is the internet, so it's definitely not that....

I prefer to stick with the mature crowd, but, to each his own huh?
Comparing what Kevin was doing to the Socratic method would be more appropriate if he eventually answered the questions he raised. Unfortunately Kevin's "perhaps" is worse than lukewarm, and his response when prodding for answers is worse than unexpected. So while it's true that "attent" has more to it than "intent", the fact that he never actually comments on things from the perspective of practice leaves me wanting more. Let's call this the second prod for discussion, and let's see if you can give any answer whatever, I'm just here to listen.
OTOH if sarcasm and mockery are all that you have, I guess it will have to do.
