But wait, that would be the most reasonable, sensible and logical
thing to do. It's also the most politically incorrect. Obervational
evidence is NOT a requirement for people's beliefs! This practice
would quite probably alienate the largest number of people! Hope

Maybe nature will create a force that attracts lawyers and will squeeze
them into a singularity!
