Perplexed With Puzzle

Have you had any problems lately where you just don't know how to reply to an argument - not because you don't know the answer, but because you can't quite figure out where to begin?

Like, the foundational knowledge you'd have to impart to that person before you could even begin to drag them out of their intellectual sinkhole would take years and cost many thousands of dollars if it were coming thru college courses.

How am I supposed to do that shit?

It's a wonderment.
