Perhaps the two or three seconds I gave it thought were entirely rational. You aren't very good at this gotcha shit are you? Nevertheless, my skepticism probably isn't entirely rational 100% of the time. You ever meet an entirely rational person? I'm okay with that. If there's some specific thing that I leverage a hefty amount of skepticism towards that needs to be readdressed that could always be arranged (do you have any suggestions?), but I'd be willing to wager we won't make it passed the first step in the process.
