I presume this Martian-imagined alternate history takes place itself in an alternate history with Martians in it? Wheels within wheels...

In other words, when my signature is wrong, we'll all know it's wrong without the need for discussion. So until then....

More seriously, I disagree with this. It assumes that the certainty cannot be arrived at by deduction/debate, and seems to me to assume we will all see the same evidence and draw the same conclusions. One would not have to prove the certainty to oneself (obviously, as you said), but proof would still be formulated to show how the truth was arrived at, both for completeness' sake and to convince others.

But since the view you hold empowers you to evaluate ideas without prejudice, more power to you.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
