I've pointed out how incredibly intellectually dishonest your definition of empathy is. No one has been tempted to claim that your bizarre definition is not intellectually dishonest. Not even you.

It's a bogus accusation that you can't back up.

But I'll humor you. Pretend like I'm 5. Exactly how is my definition "intellectually dishonest"? Be as precise as you can. After all, I'm not a very smart man.
