The statement 'Absolutists are always wrong' and the subsequent conversation constitute public discourse as they engage in a substantive debate about the nature of truth, science, and policy. The tone is somewhat sarcastic and humorous, but the intent is to critique and discuss the concept of absolutism in scientific and policy contexts.
