"Hi summerblaze,

Has it occurred to you that evidential reasoning is more powerful than faith?

Just wondering, as you seem to think that belief is more important than truth.

But perhaps you would consider this: if the evidence suggests that on balance Wave has encouraging prospects, one should consider investing. If it does not, one should consider divesting.

How is a person to derive the correct conclusion for themselves without discussing both the positives and the negatives?

In your model, they must not.

But if questioning worries you, perhaps you should inhabit a space that wishes to exclude questioning. It is a strange thing to come to a place that encourages open conversation and then to complain about it."

I think summerblaze thinks the conversation we have is all about people like him. Whereas for myself, I have a wee bit more interest in my own curiosities and very little in the fact he lacks them.
