No, you're making excuses.

I'm not asking if your opinions change. I'm asking you if you believe what you say as you're saying it. You don't want to answer my question, because you and everybody else knows the answer would be "yes". If you said, "no" then you'd know that you'd be saying that you don't know what you're talking about or that you're a liar. Maybe even both.

You just accused me earlier of believing the stuff I say. Well, Professor Bubblegamer, uh huck yuck, of course I believe the stuff I say. That's called conviction. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't say it.

A lot of the stuff you say is illogical and nonsensical. Considering you believe everything you say lets me know there's no redemption for you. I will never value your opinions. Ever. So, please stop trying to convince me to see from your point of view. Thanks.

So I have to use better words for this.  

There's arguing from a point of perspective and arguing from a point of fact.  

Arguing from a point of perspective, this is what I believe vs arguing from a point of fact, this is what I know.

Does he believe what he says?  

In statistics I learned about something called "confidence intervals."  There are no "facts" in statistics.  There's no "this is what it is."  It's more like "We are 95% confident the answer is somewhere in here."  

It's not about believing what he said as fact, but rather being [mostly] confident that it is.  

 

Is bubblegamer confident that he has the right answer?  

I would guess he usually is, or if not he's going to be asking.  

Does he always absolutely believe everything he says as absolute fact?  

Absolutely not.  There's no reason to have a conversation if you're going to assume you're always right.  


You're looking way too hard into this.
