Translation:

He exercised critical thinking and took note of a significant problem with your analogy.... if you want to call it that.

Thing is, I know exactly what you're doing.

All you're doing is presenting an even dumber than usual iteration of the Watchmaker argument remixing the ingredients doesn't make the argument any better.

There's a reason you won't address the actual criticism of the argument.

Like I said, you engage in a way that suggests a system, some predetermined format. At a minimum, you are not at all an honest actor, and converse with an agenda to control the flow and narrative, rather than engaging with the natural flow of the discussion.
