Another falsehood. I pointed out James was wrong to claim
supremacy entailed omnisicience.

Same mistake James made before, wrongly assuming supremacy
requires omniscience.

It's clear James suffers from many unclarities, especially
where reading and thinking are involved. Only question is
which ones he's unable to escape from and which he manufactures
because he wants to stay in the dark.
