2. They won't get cuaght becuase thy don't need to be hidden, for all we know the Thalmor's spies are the Thalmor Justiciar capturing Impreial Soldiers who are cuaght worshiping Talos and torturing information out of them.

3. You are forgetting after the Stormcloak rebelion there are still people who would do anything for the Empire, All the Empire would need to do to know the size and position is ask someone local there that no one suspects of being a spy.

4. Sorry I meant 5th for that one but let me go ahead and battle that 4th point:

Skyrim is surrounded by mountains, there is only a few entrances to the island without having to climb mountains and those points are the most heavily guarded due to them being the trade capitials, they can regain troops faster then the Empire becuase they don't have to send troops through the sea in order to recover and they can trade with other islands in order to restock resources.

An Ad Hominem attack means to focus on the person not their argument and thats what you did,

"The one who is doing some hasty generalization here is you; as you're the one assuming that because there are two there must be more." 1. The most plausible answer is that neither would send spies.

2. Justiciars don't capture Imperial soldiers, only Talos worshippers.

3. How is that relevant?

4. Islands? Skyrim isn't an island. This is another one of your arguments that's entirely irrelevant to anything we're talking about.

How exactly is that an Ad Hominem, for merely pointing out your irony? An Ad Hominem would be me stating you're a bloody idiot for thinking what you think; I specifically pointed out the fact that your argument doesn't add up and is illogical.
