I consider it derisive to tell a man that has presented a theory whose components are basically the same as those used by many others, that his argument lacks "any coherence". I could be typing random letters and words and that would lack any coherence. And even if you did believe what you wrote was true, would you also call fat women fat, ugly people ugly and stupid people stupid because it is also true? Just how polite of an Englishman are you? And what do Englishmen call derision?

Then by all means present your argument in a cohesive fashion. Start from the beginning. Present your argument in step one, step two fashion. Ensure that there are no logical jumps between steps. Saying that there is a lack of coherence in your writing is not derisive, it is informative, also known as constructive criticism. I am not DHW, and I read your arguments straight through, one after another, and you are positively dizzying. You jump from topic to topic without rhyme, reason, or pattern. That, sir, is not how to present an argument unless your sole purpose is to keep the audience so confused that they are too bewildered by your randomness to respond, thereby making you the default winner and your own eyes and foolish in everyone else's. How else do you expect reasonable rational people to respond to such a maelstrom?
