–“What’s Pilpul?”–
Sophism: numerology, astrology, scriptural interpretation, textual interpretation, legal interpretation – the art of making excuses to justify a prior, using loading, framing, suggestion obscurantism, overloading, fictionalism, and deceit.
Abrahamism consists of False Promise, Pilpul (positive), Critique (negative), straw manning, and heaping of undue praise, to force you to appeal to your intuition rather than reason and evidence.
