I'm going to have to go through your older posts and read more of this. Even in every day situations, people will argue a point based on the premise that they're right because they cannot be proved wrong, which is definitely not the same as showing scientific methodology to prove a point - and then replicating it for good measure.

ps - my husband has been begging for someone to say something smart (he works retail) - I may have to show him your posts :)
