Tina believes that the link between oceans and human eccentricity is probably due to the Renaissance practice of using ships as asylums. She doesn’t provide any support for this belief; she simply asserts that it’s true without providing a premise.

Sergio concludes that the linkage between oceans and human eccentricity is not due to the practice of using ships as asylums. Oceans and human eccentricity have always been linked to each other, even before that practice emerged.

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. The speakers disagree about the origin of the link between oceans and human eccentricity. Tina thinks the link is due to the practice of using ships as asylums. Sergio does not think this is the origin.

Sergio doesn’t express an opinion. He doesn’t comment on people during the Renaissance or how they might have been viewed.

Tina expresses no opinion about this. She comment about the linkage between oceans and human eccentricity. But she doesn’t comment on whether oceans have been viewed as mysterious and unpredictable.

Sergio expresses no opinion. He believes the linkage did not result from ships as asylums. But whether the practice of ships as asylums resulted from the linkage is not discussed. (Tina probably disagrees with this answer, but it doesn’t matter, since Sergio has no opinion.)

Tina expresses no opinion. She doesn’t comment on any of the qualities of oceans or whether they have been attributed to people.

There is support for a disagreement. Tina thinks the origin of the linkage was a practice in the Renaissance. Sergio believes humans have “invariably” associated qualities of the ocean with eccentricity. To him, this suggests the linkage existed before the Renaissance.
