These are not facts though, these are feelings and opinions. Each person usually has their own, even if they took it from somewhere else. I in no way think that you are less capable then anyone else here, but I can see how you picked-up that impression. My advice is to always remember to be open to the possibility of being wrong, or to even go as far as to say "Oh, I guess I completely misunderstood what you said" In fact, I say it all of the time. It's how my person opinions grow. In honesty if your still bent on comparing the ability to argue a point (or judge how smart someone his by how well they argue a point) it isn't in the words. It's in the ability to look at how your argument may be wrong, or aspects of it may be wrong, and to use others opinions to create your own.
