And the string of not understanding what an ad hominen is continues

"An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument against the person") or attacking the messenger, involves replying to an argument or assertion by attacking the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself."

translate my statement:
you are good at some things, you are wrong here.
there is no attempt to falsify his argument by reference to some attribute, there is no attempt to falsify his argument at all, just denial, but that doesnt constitute ad hominen.
Ad hominen is a phrase thrown around by those who want to sound smarter than they are and misused more often than correctly used, as in your case.
