No. As I have never claimed that walls "don't work", it isn't possible for me to "admit" anything of the kind.Pretty much the analogy. I wasn't being serious. I thought the sarcasm was obvious.
That there dam has kept the water back for 50 years. Don't need the dam to do it anymore.
I rather like this analogy:

Did you just admit that walls work?
And even if I were adamant that "walks don't work" (whatever the fuck that could mean in the absence of context), you might note that I didn't say anything about walls. All I said was that I liked an analogy, made by someone else.
A medieval city wall, with the gates closed, secured, and guarded, that surrounds a besieged city wherein food and water are available, most certainly "works" as a means of keeping out an attacking army, at least for a time, as long as the attackers don't have effective siege weapons.
This doesn't imply that all concepts of "wall" are going to "work" for any definition of "work".
But of course, as you are apparently intelligent enough to find and operate your computer, you already know that.
No. Fuck off.If ...
