Check the claim, not the person, sentence 1
So when someone answers an idea with "You're six, what would you know?", "You don't even recycle at home" or "You're not my friend", they have dodged the idea and hit the person.
Who acts: someone, You, they · What happens: answer, be, know, not recycle, not be, dodge · To what, where: idea, home, friend, person · Speech: someone speaks here
