    But the water is not a person you are having a discussion with. I helped you make your point. And I said I am glad I could help. :)

    So did I not help you make the point you were trying to make?

      i see you’re struggling to comprehend the metaphor, so i’ll explain: no conscious act or decision of yours “helped” me. i simply observed you being yourself. you get no credit for that.

        I don’t get credit for being myself?! I mean, who would get credit for me being me, then? You said I proved your point. So I helped you. Which makes us friends. So we’re cool now, right?
