Re: Fed up with this lark...

"Before any discussions can take place, people have to agree on the amount and means of justification they'll accept."

It's not normally a problem Bucky, as when people say "I know" it's generally accepted on both sides that they mean "I think", and an affable conversation or argument ensues. The problem arises when they say "I know" and absolutely mean it!

Even that is generally OK, but if what they "know" rests in another dimension, and is beyond all hope of demonstration then there's no scope for discussion, only lecturing...
