    If they have a strong enough argument which convinces you to eat shit, them being a billionaire doesn't matter. What this person is saying is that someone could talk them into eating shit, wealthy or not.

      Actually I'd argue they're saying if the person was a billionaire AND had a strong argument.

      if (arg == (billionaire && strongArg)

       eat poo;

      else

       savedForLaterConsideration[x] = poo;

        They are saying that. But I'm saying that if the argument is strong enough to get you eating shit, then why does being a billionaire matter. Imagine a billionaire has an argument that makes you eat shit. Then a poor person repeats the same exact argument. Why is the argument suddenly less sound? That's not how arguments work. The argument has to be the defining difference because the person said the billionaire needs a strong argument. Otherwise the billionaire could just tell them to do it and they would. So given that they placed importance on the argument and that anyone can have a strong argument...

        The person thinks they're using an AND joiner but they're really not.

          they think being rich proves whatever they say, as if eating shit made them rich

      So they wouldn't eat shit, even if there was a very good argument for doing it, like their doctor prescribing a fecal transplant, unless that argument was being made by an oligarch?
