Anything that's not demonstrably true is difficult to understand. Kindergartners understand this; they don't know a square peg doesn't fit into a round hole until they try it for themselves.

I tend to stay away from outrageous claims that have no evidence backing them up. You can't have understanding without evidence. Remember my kindergartner analogy?

This analogy is fallacious because it only works if the apple is there in the first place.

A promise you could never hope to keep.
