Sophistry involves a person arguing a point that they know to be false. Now, unless you have acquired an amazing ability to read the minds of other internet posters, I'm pretty sure you cannot say that you know for a fact what I really believe in this case. Then again, you have such a low threshold for what you consider a "fact" you very well might claim to know this information. Regardless, I do not believe that the statement "renewables can provide 100% of our energy needs" is a scientific fact. I'm not exactly sure why you think that I actually agree with you on this matter and am simply arguing otherwise just for kicks, but let me assure you that I am not. Is that clear enough? Here, let me make it perfectly clear:

I believe you are wrong.

Do you get it now? I'm not engaged in sophistry because I actually believe you are wrong. Perhaps it is hard for a person of your tremendous ego to understand that there are people out there that question your grasp of the absolute truth, but I can assure you that they exist. In fact, I suspect they exist in rather large numbers on this forum.
