Reductio ad Absurdum:
Of self proclaimed wiseheads, bighead know it alls and ignorant fools...
is it not said not to argue with them…
Because people can't be talked out of their illusions,
a good way to remove foolishness is to indulge it.
Of what profit would it be to argue all day with a blind man who thought an elephant to be a thin creature,
didn't he regard it with his very palm?
whilst all he handled was its tail…
If a person believes that the Earth is flat, you can't talk him out of that.
He knows it's flat. Look out the window and see; it's obvious, it looks flat.
The only way to convince him is to say 'Well let's go and find the edge.'
