Near death experience of Howard Storm

Well, I believe you. That sounds like just the sort of thing you'd do

Let me use an analogy here. There is a massive jar of sweets, so many it's impossible to be able to tell how many are in there without tipping them all out and counting.

Some guy says to me, "How many sweets are in there?"

I say, "I don't know."

"There are 387,524 sweets in there."

"How do you know that?"

"We all have different beliefs."

"Hum, okay. But why do you believe that?"

"Well how many are there then?"

"I said, I don't know."

"See? So there's 387,524."

"No. Just because I don't know, it doesn't mean a made up answer is valid."

"There could be that many sweets."

"Yes, there could be. But you're claiming that there actually is."

"Well if you don't know how many are in there, how can you say I'm wrong?"

"I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying there's no reason to think you're right. Who are you anyway? Fuck off."
