But the point is your reasoning leads you to believe what those surrounding you believed. Subject closed.
I have good reasoning for my beliefs too. You won't accept that this is possible, whereas I accept your position fully. And I'm not talking the 'E' word here, because that is a bollocks red herring. Something you're chasing that isn't there.
