The proper response to that and the only proper one making a point that a novice in logic would be pretty sure to miss, would be "You are entirely right in saying that the chemist experiments upon the very object under investigation, although, after the experiment is done, the particular sample operated upon may be thrown away, as having no further | 3πλ
