>> Yes, it becomes important when someone challenges this belief. <<
You put yourself in that position Bob. You've had several opportunities to drop
it without losing face; I haven't been trying to win, just counter your points,
with the hope that the futility of this debate would become evident. It would
stop if you'd quit pressing me to respond. I really do have better things to do
than challenge your beliefs, and would rather do them. Each time I try to back
off however, you turn up the heat, and then I have to counter. What makes sense
to you? Shall we just drop it?
