| dass sie keiner substantiierten Erwiderung zugänglich sind not amenable to a substantiated response Explanation: The German formulation is rather formal, so you might want a more formal register in English as well. The statements regarding the value of the horse are so completely unsubstantiated that they are not amenable to a substantiated response. Amenable: capable of being acted on Langenscheidt Muret-Sanders |

| dass sie keiner substantiierten Erwiderung zugänglich sind not open to a substantiated response Explanation: Or, perhaps, not subjectable or susceptible to a substantiated response. I get the impression that a substantiated response is impossible in this case, because one cannot respond properly to nonsense. In other words, maybe a substantiated argument could normally be made, but not a substantiated RESPONSE. Garbage in, garbage out and how does one respond to garbage? |
