  Then you missed the point of this conversation

  You’re being intellectually dishonest, in attempts to kill the message.

    Yes, but, as you noted in an earlier post, that isn’t what you’re responding to. The point of the post you stated you are responding to is that if an event occurs that leaves no change to the context from before and after the occurrence, then binary search is ineffective.

    The fact that you’re wasting this much time trying to defend such a simple error is confusing. The reasonable response is, “oh, yes, in that particular case, binary search is ineffective.”

      Yes, but, as you noted in an earlier post, that isn’t what you’re responding to.

      I keep saying what I’m responding to, but you’re trying to change the narrative of what I’m responding, to as a debate tactic.

      Someone uses a debate tactic of mentioning an “one off” and then directing their whole conversation to that one singular point is not intellectually honest in the whole conversation being had.
