In post #6 you wrote, "
When someone is making claims that are based on arithmetic statements then dismissing them in a cavalier fashion, when they are the main point of the article, seems a little disingenuous."
I did not dismiss any claims by the author of the article in a cavalier fashion, disingenuously.
What I wrote in post #5 was, "Irrespective of any arithmetic travesties, I find it very interesting that China's digital publishing industry is booming so."
Irrespective of means regardless of. So, I did not dismiss or deny, or suggest that any arithmetic statements should be forgotten, nor did I claim that they were correct.

You said that
someone dismissed the arithmetic statements in a cavalier manner, disingenuously. Presumably that
someone isn't the
someone who wrote the article, so which other
someone were you referring to? Disingenuous means lacking in candor, or giving a false appearance of simple frankness. Candor means honest, or sincere expression.

I presume the
you in this case doesn't refer to me, rather it means
someone - but I guess not the same
someone who wrote the article, because that's a different
someone. Oh well, whoever this
someone is, and apparently it's not me, so I suppose it must be another
someone, presumably the the same
someone who dismissed the statements, whoever that
someone is.

Oh good, so it has to do with
someone else.

Oh, so some your comments were directed at me after-all, not
someone else.

Well I suppose because they were directed at me. Oh no, I remember now, they weren't anything to do with me, rather they were to do with
someone else.
