Yes.

Except I actually gave some pretty solid justification to show that my absurdities were genuine absurdities on the metaphysical level. For instance, if Tristram Shandy were infinitely far behind, the present could never be reached (as I demonstrated mathematically). This is a metaphysical absurdity and could not possibly happen.

That does not logically follow from my argument at all.

Here is the sad part--and Don does not know this. He is seriously confused and seems pretty paranoid about the opposition (believing I am trying to "dumy down" others when I am not, nor is there any shred of evidence that I am).
