What I’m trying to teach you is much more important than what you’re trying to teach me.
The statement “I’m trying to get you to think about it logically” is a pejorative defence mechanism you are using because you are uncertain of your own knowledge and arguments.
No true expert ever feels the need to belittle anybody they are talking to.
This is how I know you don’t know this subject very well. I don’t either, but I do know enough to have any discussion at any level with any expert in any field without any pejorative baggage.
Your core statement was that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. This is mostly true, but there are exceptions to this and they are discussed in many papers, here is one:

Once your core tenet fails, then you are immediately weakened in all subsequent attempts.
With respect, in this situation, despite my stupidity and lack of knowledge in almost every area of any learning, I am the teacher here not you.
