Actually, you don't need pool to maintain circles (at least circles that do not require pool to stay active).
Wait, what?

What needs clarification? Please make the question more specific.

Let me explain what you said in slightly different words:
"You don't need Pool to keep circles active, at least circles that do not require pool to stay active."

It works on similar principle to the tattoos. Do you need pool to activate them, or make them? Just make them, you can activate them without expending any pool because the cost was in the creation, not in the manipulation.

We were talking about the act of maintaining circles in an active state. A better way to say this would be: "One doesn't need pool to draw a circle or to keep it in an active state after it has been activated, unless the circle specifically requires to draw pool from the people who helped draw it to stay active and none of the people that helped draw it have enough." Do you see the difference?

Or even better: "There are two kinds of circles. Those that require pool to stay active and those that don't. You don't need pool to help in drawing and maintaining either of them."

I was pointing out that it was pretty much impossible for your initial statement to be false.

That's right. Because it was true. What I say is always true. Except when it is false.

Tautologies CAN provide people with info. They're not inherently meaningless. So there was nothing wrong with what I said.

Tautologies aren't terribly helpful unless clarified, which typically makes the tautology pointless.

Besides, it's sometimes fun to point out.

Yeah, I admit, I could have worded that better.

You monster, making fun of my tautologies.

It's by being made fun of that you learn how to avoid those silly mistakes.

Man, if everyone followed that a lot of human history would have been significantly more boring.
