>Whereas you in essence think that [imaginary pain] is an oxymoron

No, I think that there is such a thing as imaginary pain, just as there is such a thing as an imaginary elephant. You can imagine being in pain. You can imagine an elephant. But if someone said "imaginary elephants weigh just as much as real elephants", I would be confused (unless they just meant that the imagined weight of the imagined elephant was equal to the weight of the real elephant).

A true sign of a troll is when they write 100 words about the one word in your comment they disagree with instead of the 99% they agree with.
