You really haven't poked any holes at all. You made a wildly false assertion
that I refuted on every level. You're the idiot, and are too stupid to

Just because you don't get the reasons that the Boy Scouts have rules does
not make the rules invalid, it just makes you stupid for not following them.

You are truly too stupid for words.
