You argue in bad faith.

I would say that “What does shame have to do with it?” is a bad faith response.

It’s not. It’s asking why you think it is shameful. Because that term has no meaning in this situation. Something you have still yet to answer.

Asking that does not assume something else is good. Which you assumed I meant, based on absolutely no prompt from me. That is arguing in bad faith.

I think it’s shameful because I can’t imagine not being ashamed of seeing my country’s educational institutions fail after spending centuries building up a proud tradition of excellence and cutting edge research.

What do you mean, it has no meaning in this situation? Without any explanation, all I could do was speculate. It’s not arguing in bad faith to ask a question in order to clear up your uncertainty about what the other person things.

You didn’t ask a question. You made an assumption. Suggesting you thought i believed it was good. I’m not overly interested in discussing with someone that cloud talks like you do.
