Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.

Summary

This quote highlights that irony and sarcasm, despite being means of communication, do not serve as valid forms of arguing or making a compelling case. Irony and sarcasm often involve a clever and humorous twist in conveying a message, but they lack the logical foundation and rationality needed for a substantive argument. Genuine arguments rely on evidence, reasoning, and logical coherence to prove a point, while irony and sarcasm primarily serve as stylistic devices, often laced with humor or criticism, rather than solid arguments themselves.
