As for your specific event: I think you succeed a bit. People did start trying to define their terms and someone concluded, based on those, that there’s probably no such thing as a soul. Next time, I’d suggest linking a relevant LW post if forum etiquette allows. It might make your point clearer or even get someone to follow a couple of links.
