		<description>That's it; resort to your age-old defense mechanism instead of admitting that your silly spiritual laws are nothing but a health code. You can't admit it, because at that point you'd be forced to aknowledge that it's high time we saw some evolution in our restroom behaviors as well.</description>

		<description>Nothing like seeing someone with fresh, untested skills bringing them to bear against a problem that clearly doesn't require such heavy intellectual lifting.

Shouldn't it be as simple as when do you *feel* more clean: After wiping yourself with a wad of paper, or after a soapy shower? No one has presented a significant argument against experimenting with new cleaning ideas.

It's also worth pointing out the correlation between following the laws of Kosher and following the ass-cleansing status quo. In both cases, your Jewishness seems to want to stand in the way of innovation.</description>

		<description>I see how it is.  Thinking carefully about this would require you to change positions.  Therefore, you choose to assert that the issue "doesn't require much more thought." 

Here is a brief list of the logical fallacies you are employing in your "argument."

Guilt by association -- My being in Washington D.C. for a week has nothing to do with my ability to assess whether or not this argument is so stupid that only a crooked person could support it.  At least, is bears less than on the issue than your "career" in high-tech inclines you to accept purportedly innovative solutions to things that are not broken in the first place.  (leading to the next two). 

Appeal to novelty -- The fact that nobody else does this does not make it a good idea.

False dilemma -- Unless you're going to attribute the rise of colorectal cancer to improper wiping techniques, there's really no "there" there.

Burden of proof/appeal to ignorance -- You have not presented any evidence that this is actually more sanitary, just relied on my inability to disprove your assertion.

Fallacy of composition -- A related fallacy in which you equate anuses to dishes, when one is ceramic and the other is attached to an immune system.</description>
