Challenging Silverboy's ignorance is a good thing but he will never admit to guesswork. His simple way of seeing the world is that the Art of War is an old Chinese book and Confucianism is an old "philosophy" so there must be a connection. Maybe he gets his BC and AD dates mixed up as he tries to appear to be intelligent but, without the Doctor to back him up, he just flounders in his own ignorance.

Notice in his reply to you how he moves the goalposts by writing about collectivism. Challenge him on this and he will without question tell us he's not interested in Chinese history.
