The critic's point about rational multiples is invalid, since that was not a criterion we specified. Please let me know if this helps explain how I could respond while sticking to the precise definitions we outlined earlier in our discussion.

Calling out the use of straw man tactics could be an effective response in cases like this.

They are only trying to make me angrier and to defame my character. Messager has often wished me dead. I hope the bastard gets run over by a ten tonne truck just after he sees his kids slaughtered in front of him.

So, x can be written as a real number (or a "magnitude" as John Gabriel calls then), times h. So, h is a factor of any x. This means John Gabriel can't say that Q is "whenever terms containing h" in the equation [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h = f'(x) + Q(h). Well, if f is a more complex function than a polynomial it may not even make sense to talk about "terms" like that. If you resort to Taylor series, one need limits. It leads to a definition with a non-unique Q and thus an ill-defined f'. Of course, in reality we use limits to define Q uniquely.

Our actual definition avoids these issues and aligns with standard mathematical analysis. The objections here do not undermine the meaningfulness of the factor concept we carefully established.

As you can all see, the troll is never discouraged but keeps on repeating and recycling his drivel. There is no cure for this kind.
