I don't live in the US and I'm most certainly not being paid by the
M/IC. I think the words you are looking for are "conflict of
understanding". There is a big difference between "trying to understand
something" and "shouting out nonsense as loud as you can, while not
listening to anyone else".

Speak for yourself ;)

BTW If I'm on some military list, it's probably because I'm a
conscientious objector, and headed some conshie organisation for some
time. I don't like the military. I don't like dumping nuclear wastes.
And I don't like people talking s... about something they clearly don't
understand. I'm willing to adjust my opinions, which I think is the
basis of all science. But only when I hear sound reasons, not when
someone is shouting it out.
