Lack of evidence does not indicate an incorrect position, merely a lack of proving it. People posited the idea that the world was round many centuries before there was proof but I guess they were victims of a logical fallacy as well. How silly of them.

If it's idle worry on my part, awesome. That's terrific. All those "shovelware" games I see at Best Buy surrounding the two copies of Super Mario Galaxy they have must be figments of my imagination. I guess it'd be silly to think people buy them...


 May I submit that those games are still on the shleves because people are not buying them, and that there are so few copies of Galaxy because that game is still in demand? And while I'm teasing, may I also point out that the Ptolemies produced some proof that the world was round during their dynasty?

But in all seriousness, you may still be right. It's just that the rest of us don't really see any proof of it, while we do see some proof to the contrary, so we believe the contrary. It might still be wishful thinking on our part, but it's hardly the only lie we have to tell ourselves to get through the day now, is it?
