Now JL watch carefully.
Esquilax, if you don't believe I'm wearing purple pants, I will come and burn your house down.
NOW, with that information added to the equation, how likely do you think it is that I'm wearing purple pants?
The... the number hasn't changed!
What is this witchcraft?!
I kid, I kid.
Buuuuuut, I hear you say, it doesn't cost anything for Esquilax to believe I have purple pants and I might burn his house down if he doesn't, so why not believe in purplepantedness to be on the safe side?
Which is fine except that Tonus tells you HE will burn your house down unless you believe they are blue. And Badwolf tells you HE will burn your house down unless you believe they are black and min says... Etc etc.
So if you can't make a decision based on who's threatening with what, what does it take?
I shall now attempt to convert Esquilax to the belief that I'm wearing purple pants today.
Ta da!

Ok, purple and black check. But the point is, no ancient texts, or polls, or statistical analysis, or threats, or pleading, or prayer would have swayed Esquilax view more than a tiny bit. He needed evidence.
Do you believe brother? DO YOU NOW BELIEVE?
