      - Calling someone a liar has nothing to do with what the callee knows. - alcaray - 12/21/2012 8:00:43 PM

        At some point, "conflicting evidence" has to be sorted out to eliminate the conflict. - TB - 12/21/2012 8:15:18 PM
        
        Well sure. But the discussion is really about something else. - alcaray - 12/21/2012 9:57:46 PM
        
        Probably different bodies of knowledge, tempered by different life experiences. - MaryAnne - 12/21/2012 6:13:32 PM
