ace: That comment wasn't directed at you. I will say, I now understand why having a conversation with you is like trying to grab steam. Why you can shift positions and side-step the corners you get backed into, and then deny any shift. I now completely understand why it's been so frustrating to interact with you.
For you, a thing is true if you believe it. For most of the rest of us (I won't say "all", because I don't know that to be the case, but for sure it's most), there's the facts about a thing, and then our opinion, and we can separate the two. For you, the facts ARE what you believe. Evidence is seen through the filter of your existing beliefs, and nothing anyone can say to you can be heard in any way but through that filter.
I guess that's where you started this thread from, and what you've been up to since then is to justify that. I could have just listened to you when you said that right up front. But I didn't--I assumed SOME level of rationality and objectiveness over there, and I now see I was completely in error about that.
