> It is my opinion that Old Spice is the best based on the fact that my wife likes it.

That's not a rational conclusion. Why make a baseless comparative judgement like "it's the best" when you can make a qualitative judgement, like "it's good" or "my wife likes it".

That's my point. You think you're scientifically minded, but you have opinions like "Old Spice is the best" that aren't based on facts at all.

> It is a fact that I have a dog sitting on my couch.

This falls into the category of "mundane historical events" I mentioned above.

> I honestly don't even remember what we're actually talking about, and at this point I'm pretty sure I don't care anymore. Sorry.

My guess is you don't have any rational disagreement with what I said, so you just started saying random things about hypothetical situations and you bored yourself.
