Within the last 24hrs, I had an argument with someone who... proposed concept A as a solution, then proposed concept B, which explicitly discarded and contradicted concept A, as another solution... just back to back, mere sentences apart.

I pointed out that not only would neither A nor B work as a solution... but that A and B also contradicted each other, and that this person just isn't eve making sense, because they do not seem to even be aware that A and B contradict each other.

This person replies with a giant rant about 'how could you even think that they contradict each other unless you read one sentence after another and think of it all at the same time?'

I really wish I was making this up.

This person did not comprehend the idea that... a paragraph of sentences build off of and relate and refer to each other, and are more that just a list of completely isolated bullet points.

They actually could not grasp the concept ... that a concept may take more than a single sentence to convey.
