OK, lets pretend I'm holding a rubber ball enclosed in my fist.
I ask two people what the color they think the ball is. I'll give 2 clues, it's cool and it's common.
Person A says "Blue is a cool color. And it is a common color. And I have seen blue rubber balls before. The ball is blue. I'm completely certain of this."
Person B says "Blue is a cool color. And it is a common color. And I have seen blue rubber balls before. So it may be blue. It could even likely be blue."
Person A, even if they turn out right, will come out looking like an idiot, because given the information, it's impossible to know for certain what color the ball is. Could have ended up being purple or green, among other colors.
Given your statement, I assume when asked a question you never answer in possibilities.
Like, if someone handed you a box and asked "How much do you think this weighs?" You'd answer "20 pounds." Not, around 20 pounds, or more than 10 pounds, or etc....
None of that means you have a ball in your hand or that it's rubber, like many things scientist want so badly to prove regardless if it's true, deception has been part of their science.

Are you saying you won't believe something unless you see it with your own two eyes? You're right; how can we even know the ball is in his hand? Take his word for it? I like your thinking, GC.
Although, we can't prove the ball isn't in his hand, maybe we ought to believe him anyhow...
