Tbh you didn't point out the problem with his argument from a philosophical standpoint, you said that Popper did in this book that Sotter clearly didn't read. This way to formulate things isn't very conductive for discussion.

I don't want to get too off-topic by discussing Popper, but I don't have a good opinion of his book and feel like he failed to make a strong case against Plato. (He misread him, but on this point he's close enough anyway.) It would have been better to explain what his arguments are rather than namedrop him in an authoritative manner imo, so that Sotter could articulate his point better.

(Also, screw Derrida, he's a discount Heidegger. A continuum still needs two extremities. Duality is actually a prerequisite of it. It's a glorified Sorite paradox.)
