So why not normally? They are certainly sincere. They are adamant. They are thousands if not more. They have well documented cases. They have found support in some of the health care community. When you combine all of their stories, that certainly makes for powerful testimony. What in their anecdotal evidence do you not find convincing or believable?
And could you compare/contrast the differences between your "not normally" position with this case and in other cases (your choice) where it would be "yes" (choose your own word if you find yes not fitting).
I may have responded to someone else.
I don't think that there is anything non-convincing or unbelievable in the anecdotes. However cherry picking data, or making a hasty generalization about what is normal based a limited accounts is not correct either.
This is your idea of an adequate response to my post? If they are not "non-convincing or unbelievable" are you saying that you now believe? Or is this basically double talk so that you can maintain your thread position with a non answer?
What cherry picking data? What hasty generalization? What limited accounts" More double talk?
Go and believe your anecdotes, for your own reasons. Don't expect others to find those reasons rational or acceptable. Much the same as I find your reply.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
