Using an analogy to explain something to someone who is learning from you--not debating you--is sometimes quite effective.  Using an analogy in an argument is like....well it doesn't work as well because you have to defend both the correctness of the example you are using and the validity of the relationship between that example and the point you are actually trying to 'prove'.  In this case your circuit is not analogous to the issue that is really on your mind.  But that doesn't matter because you will maintain that it is and now we have an additional thing to disagree over--and you've gotten nowhere.  So while not "bad faith" in all cases (although arguments using analogies certainly can be and are very commonly presented in bad faith in the legal profession IMO) they are almost always a bad idea when arguing contested matters.

Why did you ask the question if you already knew the answer? It it was a brain teaser, then you should have been upfront about it. Going from your posting history, I think many people here thought it was some sort of free energy scheme.

I'm not the smartest person here. Far from it. I'm sure many others are capable of figuring it out. Indeed many probably did, but didn't post a solution due to lack of will or time.

Sorry for not being clear. Yes it was a brain teaser and I always mentioned that I know the answer to the question I was asking.
I think you are modest. You are sure fairly smart.
I did not asked for a solution if you agreed with my answers.
I asked for a solution if you disagreed with me on question A)

Let's record that, so he can't rewrite history again.

Completely disreputable behaviour.

Recorded for what purpose? What are you hoping to achieve?
