You shouldn't be surprised. A statement regarding what is, to them, is wrong because of what they believe might be.
It's wrong, because we have not ruled out whatever it is they believe in, in their estimation. They think that this is a requirement. That we must rule out what might be to make a claim as to what is. If they would like to have their beliefs included in claims of what is, then they need to do so..they need to include it themselves, and bring us some of that which is. Not opine upon what might be. Materialists have -more- than brought their position...they've devised a method to test for what is, to test the soundness of their propositions. It's called a commitment to logical positivism.
Otherwise, it's just an endless chorus of "you might be wrong!"
-yeah, no shit.......and?
