That's why your arguments have no impact. Because they don't address the fundamental process by which Mormons believe one gains knowledge.
So, I'm beginning to see a problem here, which may be Mike's point.

Now if both parties rely on presuppositionalism, and the two parties appeal to separate authorities in the presuppositionalist approach...well then I don't see how this discussion will go anywhere.

Please correct me if I'm missing something, and forgive me if I offend. I am, after all, speaking as an outsider and somewhat less than an expert.
