I'm merely suggesting that your personal judgment needs some major fine-tuning, preferably to a channel that is not tuned into poppycock.
When attempting to draw any conclusion, then it needs to be tuned to an intermediate channel (what I call an open, rational mind). As long as you draw your conclusion based upon a biased mindset, then you would be likely to draw the wrong conclusion. I could either be having an open, rational mind and just can't decide one way or the other. Or, I could be having an open, irrational mind. I don't know which one I have, personally, since I am undecided on that one, too. But I have tried my best to keep an open, rational mind though.
