you druggist

I'd say that explained a lot, except it would take more than drugs to explain Pliny.

how much more?

Probably an ugly philosopher.

what do you mean?

an ugly philosopher is how much more than drugs it would take to explain Pliny.

why an ugly one?

Why not?

i think the onus is on you to explain why an ugly one would be needed rather on me to explain why a generic one would do, it's not me that's making the assertion, i haven't said what it would take at all, i'm trying to understand yours, and for that i require more detail than you have so far given, at least that of why the philospher would need to be ugly to be able to explain it

That is of course assuming that I wish to explain my comment sufficiently for you to understand.

well did you?
