That's an improvement on your previous scorn. I will leave the mathematics to others. And in fact my untrained mind with the most basic of rule of thumb informal logic is quite able to cleatly see the very familiar inversion of the whole argument. 'We do not know' is the whole of
our argument. certainly based on a flimsy fact - you have had an experience - is yours.
Our certainly is confined to being certain that all of your arguments are without merit. It's really quite fascinating to see you constantly directing our attention to the point of the argument while consistently missing it yourself.
