Thing is, I'm not interested in arguments/debates. Nothing in what I said there in my comment "one can listen but not hear a word" is meant as a touchstone for a debate.

I'm totally cool with and enjoy having open, deep discussions with people I disagree with. Some of the best learning opportunities are in doing that. But it requires dance partners that show a willingess to listen. I don't sense that in you, at least not in what you've shown me here or in your original article.

Last, I find the Medium platfom a poor one to even have such debates/discussions because it's not easy to go back and see what has been said.

And now a petty point that's more in what I sense is the spirit of how you are communicating with me: just using the vocab "IDW" doesn't prove anything. It just means you know a vocab word. Good on ya.
