Pointing out the solipsism of your take with a single "thing" was enough to demonstrate your myopic world view, I thought, however we can expound upon that further by covering them all.

Would you care to address the first "thing", before we continue on?

Very probably because he took all the others for granted and thought that only the one he got explicit about was that which some may perceive as odd.

That's a standard anti-gish-gallop tactic.
