True, which is why if someone accuses you of sealioning you should be prepared to explain your position and the reasoning you used to get there. Not asking questions of them but instead explaining your own position.

The problem I see is when the original poster didn’t explain their point of view, but complain when you ask them to clarify.

Well, in the specific case provided in the comic, the sealion has no position he can explain since the other side refuses to even establish how he got to his opinion.

I guess a corollary would be, first, don't actually sealion.
