      I can see you’re not interested in the information in the article, or my suggestion to find confirming or refuting evidence related to the article (ie being critical) and would rather take the discussion elsewhere.

      I won’t be continuing.

      Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
