I know it seems odd to slice the knife here, but we need to understand where and when we aren't having the same conversation, despite speaking to each other, eh?
Quote: I would need the definitions you are using for "smoke" (light on fire and inhale? kill?) and "cowboy killers" (don't even know where to go with that one).Then we have a failure of communication. You seem to assume that you might have some answer if you knew what I meant. You aren't agnostic about my smoking cowboy killers - you're agnostic about what a cowboy killer -is-.
Quote: But I doubt it.Suppose you knew that "cowboy killer" is a term very widely used for a specific brand a cigarettes? Marlboro Reds.
Quote: I don't see how my opinion on some specific, very silly thing is relevant to the conversation of opinions in general, though.It's incredibly informative if you know how to parse the data. So now, armed with this new knowledge. Do you believe that I smoke Marlboro Reds?

So you're saying it is possible to be simply "agnostic". Thank you.
