BTW, I answered. You just don't like the answer you got.
You asserted a falsehood as an answer.

That's just another way of saying that I answered but you

That's not "answering" in any normal sense of the word.

That's just another way of saying that you refuse to accept
any answer that you don't like.

If we cannot agree on premises, logic is useless (but science still
works!). A serious weakness of logic.

If you argue, without support, that a well documented matter of
historical record is a false premise, I think any reasonable
reader can judge who is refusing to accept an answer they don't like.

Even if he agrees with you about the historical record, the
reasonable reader would still judge you as refusing to accept
an answer you don't like. Not accepting an answer you don't
like has nothing to do with whether you have a good reason
for not liking it. Once again you are confused (not surprising
considering your rejection of logic). This time you have
confused "you didn't answer" with "your answer was wrong."
The act of telling someone who (in your judgement) just gave
a wrong answer that they didn't give any answer at all is the
act of refusing to accept an answer that you don't like. Your
confusion has, once again, led you to engage in inappropriate
behavoir. The appropriate behavior when you think someone
gave a wrong answer is NOT accusing them of refusing to answer
and demanding over and over that they answer the question that
they already answered.
