My current signature seems appropriate: "In order to be effective a doctrine must not be understood, but has to be believed in. We can be absolutely certain only about things we do not understand." (Eric Hoffer) It's the certainty that a universal system leads to socialism, communism, nazism, anarchism, hedonism, and antidisestablishmentarianism that makes their case so silly. Facts are either ignored or rationalized away in order to support a belief, a faith if you will.
