The tone of your message is harsh and contemptuous.  You can disagree
with him, nut please disagree respectfully.

It is not unusual for people who have basically valid points to
overstate them and thus make an incorrect assertion.  We all make such
minor mistakes like that.  To keep the discussion civil, and aim for a

is not a simple absolute rule without exceptions.
