Another personal attack.  "Marvel at my high vocabulary! I found a word which says your argument is totally accurate but people don't like the argument and don't like you!"

My argument is accurate.  Anyone who disagrees is wrong.  But it's OK to be wrong.

But you're a jerk.  It's not OK to be a jerk.  Especially when you're a mod.

No, I'm saying that your argument focuses on your one single interpretation of the word "owe" and you exclude the possibility that a person uses the word to mean something else. In this case, to you, the word "owe" only means "money they should pay us back" whereas what they actually "owe" us is a bit of loyalty and cooperation in serving their interests into the future. But you're so impressed by what you think is the point that you can't help but only see it your way. This isn't a new problem with you, I've been telling you this for years and you just write out another 1,000 essay on why you're right instead of just accepting that you're being foolish. It's why I quit trying to reason with you, because you are patently unreasonable the vast majority of the time.
