Are you familiar with the concept of an "ambiguous phrase"?

I don't see that you've been exercising such care.

In particular, your rhetoric seems based on pretending that there is

Instead, of exercising care, I see you saying other stuff which has no
place in a rational argument.  For example,

   "Your dishonesty is appalling."
