You are right.
But, to me in the least, the most important 'device/system' I got in life is 'my being'.
Now, should the results I got from my Device Under Test (my being) be similar to the results of any other one?
And, in case they are different, should I believe what some others say about my being more than what I personally discovered/perceived about it?
If I ignored/denied my personal methods that I have applied on my being, I would have no choice but following some others based on faith as a theist or atheist.
Sorry KerimF, I am really not following your argument. Can you give me an example of something you would have no choice but to take on faith because of your personal experience? I am saying that faith is the cop out. It's better to take no position on faith but sometimes just admit that you don't know.
