    Yeah, OK.
    I will give her a chance to answer. If you think it is obvious where I am going, you might try to explain why that would be the wrong direction or what was wrong in asking the question.

        It is called asking questions. Let lilpix and MM answer, Nanny.

          It’s nothing to do with credibility because as an example anti vaxxers (for the most part anyway) do sincerely believe what they do. People are complex and do sometimes have blind spots and do sometimes believe something they should know better to believe, but do anyway for lots of reasons. Such as their child is found to be autistic and our thinking parts sometimes shut down when it involves our kids because whose fault is it? In reality, nobodies because life just happens, but blaming something can be emotionally more accepting than accepting that things happen out of your control. Most conspiracy theorist are not crazy but jobs, but normal people that might accept something because of many reasons.

            While I think that is interesting I still note the complete absence of you in any of this. "People" have blind spots, "they should know better", "Most conspiracy theorist are not crazy" and so on. Does this go for you ass well?

              Did I say no? It’s a wee bit hard for a blind man to know what the color red is, right? So if you have a blind spot, will you know just what it is?

                Did you say yes? The blind man can know that he is blind. The man who knows a lot can know that there are many areas about which he does not know anything. Allowing for the possibility that you could have a blind spot is not dependent on having identifying what the blind spot is. You see? (or perhaps that is you blind spot )

                  I see Charles is back at it again with his completely asinine and pointless questions.

                    I can't decide if he thinks he is being clever and laying a "gotcha" trap that he doesn't realize everyone sees as glaringly apparent, or he is merely trying to derail the thread.

                      I'm thinking he just has a really weird personality.
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        I get the feeling he is a teenager. He seems very juvenile.

                          I don't know -- I thought we knew he was an old guy, and was just a "grumpy old fart".

                                I'm thinking college freshman. He has that unflappable arrogance that all college students seem to develop after taking a few 100 level courses.
                                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                                Than a fool in the eyes of God
