If a person finds themselves making excuses for their claims inability to pass a fundamental hurdle of logical assessment, their claims lack of parity with competing claims...who's problem is that?

There are no metaphysical theories that pass even elemental tests of evidence. And if you think you know the truth, it's because you are mistaking a reflection of your own nature as an insight into whatever's behind the mirror.
What you are willing to inquire into depends on why you are making the inquiry. Some do it to bring structure to the chaos around them, and some do it to push against the cage that binds them. But if you think you are a seeker of truth, and that that truth extends more than an inch beyond your nose, you are willfully ignoring the limitations of human understanding and perception.
Let me ask you-- do you really know as much as you think you do? Are your positions based on claims which have been supported with sufficient evidence? If you think so, then I'd like to discuss some examples of claims which you claim represent truth beyond truth-in-context, and see if you can provide evidence for them. I'm pretty confident that you can't.
