[quote=scribz]Right, but a person who does go about proving everything the world, will either have an "incredible track record" or would have to admit being wrong and would be better off for it.

Have you... like.... talked to people before? Those are two outlandishly rare outcomes. The only person besides me with such an incredible track record is Rush Limbaugh, and goddamn *nobody* admits they're wrong and comes away better for it. Your point makes perfect sense in magic-happy-land. Here, all evidence says that's not the way it goes.

But that's beside the point, because [b]what you're actually talking about is communication.[/b] Communication is great. Communication which only happens on the premise that one person must prove themselves [i]right[/i] and prove the other person [i]wrong[/i] is typically asinine and fruitless (case and point: every off-topic ever) -- but let's not let that distract us from the benefits of a constructive dialogue. 

....then after that I can't follow what you're getting at.
