No, your argument was capitalism isn’t wasteful. One counterpoint is enough to disprove that. If you want to say it’s less wasteful than some other system, that’s a different point and not what you put forth.
If anybody thinks they have a good point while ignoring evidence contrary to it, I think they look like an idiot. Are you doing that? I’m not asking you to change your idea for me, I’m saying you should change your idea because you can’t defend it. Or put your head back in the sand, whatever. But you’re not really interested in a conversation where your ideas are challenged and you have to consider something beyond “Nuh uh!”. (I would be, but you haven’t said anything remotely challenging.)
