Is this true? I doubt it. 

If you can show your thesis to be true, it would prove a lot.

But I find if a Math teacher doesn't teach well, it is not always the fault of the students.

This analogy, frankly, is awful.  You understand that there is a difference between being taught how to do math, and evidence that math exists, yes?

Quote:Also, even if it is evident to you, it doesn't mean you will accept.

So, now you're back to rudely asserting that if I don't find what you present to be persuasive, then I'm just lying to myself.  To that I say, fuck off.  How about this, MK?  You don't really believe in god.  You just want him to be real so badly that you lie to yourself about the truth.  How does that feel?

Quote:So we have three possibilities:

1. The presenter is presenting bad.
2. The listeners are not listening well.
3. The truth is manifest regardless of 1 and 2, and including possibly that the presenter presented well and the listeners heard well enough, but they don't accept.

Or option 4. you arrogant prick: what the presenter offers up as "evidence" doesn't even come close to qualifying as such by any standard, accepted definition of the term.  Therefore, the listener may reasonably reject the claim as 'unevidenced', until actual evidence is offered.  Spoiler alert: if you need a special decoder ring to "see" the evidence, it's not evidence.  Quit blaming us.

MK, your whining about us not accepting your "evidence" is analogous to you taking a sloppy, reeking shit onto a silver platter, and when you take the lid off and we reel away, gagging, you say, "Oh, come on guys. Don't lie to yourselves. You know it's delicious."
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
