Pretty simple.
I have a 6 inch thick bullet proof wall. Bullets won't pierce it. Not even a .50cal. Next I am gonna drive a tank through it. Do you think the glass is going to hold it back?

Editado por Oswinyy: 9/24/2015 8:52:18 PMThe difference between Harbingers and a Cabal ship is not the same as a single bullet and an entire tank is it.

Editado por Cyanide: 9/24/2015 8:55:35 PMYup. It's official. You have displayed your lack of knowledge of understanding a metaphor. Nice post edit by the way.

Editado por Oswinyy: 9/24/2015 9:09:42 PMWhere did I edit the post? (short answer I didn't)

Please tell me you're not that stupid to miss understand the metaphor. Or should I ask are you smart enough to know what a metaphor is?
-
"A metaphor is a figure of speech that identifies something as being the same as some unrelated thing for rhetorical effect, thus highlighting the similarities between the two". You are identifying bullets/tank vs a bulletproof wall to be equivalent to the Harbingers/Cabal ships vs the Dreadnoughts hull. I am telling you that this is not valid because the two are not similar. A bullet pales in comparison to the size and stopping power of a tank. The Harbingers are far more comparable to the size of a ship.

Editado por Cyanide: 9/24/2015 9:04:57 PMOh wow. You can copy and paste the definition of the word metaphor. Cool. You still don't understand it. Furthermore you actually did not understand the metaphor if you think I was equating the harbingers to cabal ship. As I said, you failed to understand the metaphor.
-
I never said you were equating the Harbingers to the cabal ship. You were saying Harbingers = bullets, Cabal ships = tanks, bulletproof wall = Dreadnought. This isn't valid because the disparity between bullets and tanks is not translatable to the difference between Harbingers and Cabal ships. And yes I can copy and paste a definition to show i'm right. It's know as evidence :)
-
Misuse of a definition is not evidence. Don't know where you got your schooling but they did a lackluster job.
-
I didn't misuse the definition, I displayed to you the definition of a metaphor and showed how said definition did not line up with your 'metaphor'. Sounds like evidence of my correctness to me. Also you turning to insults as opposed to defending your position shows you'd much prefer to get out as you know you're in the wrong :) good day!

Editado por Cyanide: 9/24/2015 9:23:50 PMAgain, copying and pasting of a definition and throwing some filler sentences after claiming that my metaphor is invalid does not showcase anything except for your knowledge of keyboard commands. And get out? Ha. You're the one posting long winded replies to compensate for the fact that you still don't the meaning of my metaphor. You're circumventing your denial by trying to showcase your knowledge of a metaphor, which you're doing a poor job by the way.
-
You seem to have an issue with copying and pasting something, as if in invalidates what I'm saying. I could call you and read to you from a dictionary.. And if by 'filler' you mean explanations to invalidity, then sure..
-
I have an issue with fact that you consider posting the definition of word is sufficient to say you understand it. The only thing you've invalidated is yourself. My metaphor still stands true but just because you personally can't grasp it doesn't mean it's not true.
-
Editado por Oswinyy: 9/24/2015 9:37:05 PMEven if I didn't understand what a metaphor is, putting the definition up against what you have said and showing they aren't the same is enough to show what you said is wrong.. Also, keep up with you 'you're so dumb' comments, they're truly great stuff.

Editado por Cyanide: 9/24/2015 9:48:56 PMSeeing as I finally lost all hope for you. Your problem is that you think that in my metaphor is comparing the objects in one scenario to the other. I am comparing the situations as a whole to to each other. The point being is that shield around the dreadnought is resistant to probably distance based attacks, like the harbingers or missiles from the ship. But just because it has this protective for field around it, doesn't mean it has the power to stop something from simply passing through it like, the ship. To give you an easier metaphor think of battle between the Gungans verse the Droids in the phantom menace. The Gungans put a force field around them that shields them from all fire, even the powerful tank shells. But still, it couldn't stop the droids from simply waltzing in. The point being is the shield is most likely fined tuned to block ranged attack but not be able to stop things from simply passing through. If you fail to understand this than their is no hope for you.

Editado por Oswinyy: 9/24/2015 10:09:43 PMI would agree with you and if this was the same as the battle of Naboo I would see your point. However, at Naboo, the energy shield was a distinct entity, in the Destiny cutscene, the shield was either one with the surface of the ship, or the ship just has really strong plating. In either case, a ship crashing into it and a Harbinger crashing into it would be one and the same. We saw the Harbinger's attack, they were effectively giant space battering rams, much like a ship would be. Also thank you for actually explaining the direction your metaphor was pointing in, would have made a lot more sense to do that instead of insulting a while ago. :) At this point I'm more than happy to agree to disagree because we don't know how the Dreadnought's defenses function, and if they did function like a traditional shield generator, I would see your point.

Editado por RandaltheVandal: 9/24/2015 8:56:43 PMAre you smart enough to be able to spell "misunderstand"?

Does your mind always take the path of least resistance?
