valiron,

Either:

• You are wrong, and everyone else is right
• You are right, and everyone else is wrong
• Someone has launched a Sybil attack against you

It takes an enlightened individual to conclude that they are likely in err despite that they may not realize why. If 10 people I respect tell me I am wrong, I have to accept that conclusion even if I do not understand why.

Of course, I would seek to understand why I am wrong, but it is not the onus of these other 10 people to be my teacher. (The fact that gmaxwell has voluntarily chosen to try to teach you, and has shown so much patience in the process, certainly says something about his character.)

I mean no disrespect. I only hope that you can be this type of enlightened individual.
