(the elves themselves don't float off into space because elves fly, duh) Person 2 can't think of anything to debunk this other than saying "That's dumb. You're dumb." so Person 2 is the wrong one now? Fair enough. I guess I am wrong, then, since I can't debunk that. So this is only true in like witness accounts, I guess, where perception IS reality. what? that couldn't be farther than the truth Since you're not explaining why I'm wrong, does that make you wrong? :P Seriously, though, a jury's going to side with a witness if they can't be proven wrong. Eyewitness testimony is almost absolutely worthless and in most cases if that's the only evidence then the defendant should be found not guilty. Burden of proof again --- Thus is our treaty written, thus is our agreement made. Thought is the arrow of time; memory never fades. What was asked is given; the price is paid.
