Yes, this all boils down, somehow, to RL not accepting your wacky bizarre hypothesies, and not hesitating to point out the problems with them."
You are wrong in your assumption of the meaning that I inferred to, when I called the inability to understand other persons viewpoint as "RL syndrome".
You see RL is not responsible for the syndrome he simply displays the symptoms, as do you.
The "syndrome" in question does not deal with acceptance but rather it deals with understanding..

Confusion
In the greatest confusion there is still an open channel to the soul. It may be difficult to find because by midlife it is overgrown, and some of the wildest thickets that surround it grow out of what we describe as our education. But the channel is always there, and it is our business to keep it open, to have access to the deepest part of ourselves.
