There is a contradiction in that statement. Can you find it?
Yes. I phrased my statement as if I were addressing a rational
individual, in clear contradiction of the current evidence.
Beautifully put, hence +1 QOTW.
Seriously, if you reject even the statement I made above, in spite of
all the arguments that have been advanced in this thread, in spite of
the fact that this is very easy to demonstrate empirically, then I
don't think there's any fertile ground for discussion here.
Congratulations Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn, you've been promoted to my
dream team.
