On what basis can you rule anything out if you don't know?
Say you haven't learn the concept of math, on what basis can you say 2+2= 4 is right or wrong if you don't know?
Here's a little better analogy than the crap you just spewed...
Let's say some guys wife is getting boned on the side. He can rule out huge numbers of people his wife might be fucking without ever figuring out who it really is. After all, King Henry the 8th isn't available for any afternoon delight. Neither is Winston Churchill or Ronald Reagan swinging by to poke her pussy. He can scratch Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and President Obama from the list since they've never had the opportunity to dance the horizontal mambo with her. In fact, he can rule out quite literally billions of people with absolute certainty (or something so close as to make no difference) without even trying...
It is possible to know what the answer isn't even if you don't know what the answer is.
Besides, you give me four of something and I can certainly tell you I don't have ten of them (or 20, or 100, or 2048, or 243,985,243) without ever figuring 2+2=4.
Huggy has been told this endless times.
Hopefully your analogy will finally get him to see the error in his thinking. Although, I have my doubts.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
