Can you choose what you believe?

I hardly see how that misrepresents my view. As other people have been successful, and if someone has been successful that DOES mean that something is possible, but simply not having been successful does not prove something to be or not be possible. I never stated that nothing is impossible, but in this particular case i am pointing out merely that the state of impossibility has not been proven, whereas possibility has been shown already, i simply didn't raise that issue because the only point I was replying to was the point about the impossibility.

So where exactly does the misrepresentation come in?

 

Where has it been shown that it is possible to "intentionally choose to be delusional"?

Yeah - you can lie to yourself, but that's not being fundamentally delusional, it's pretending to be believing something you're not.
