Response to An Elementary Textbook of Psychoanalysis

 
You are perfect examples of Bill Beaty's term: "True disbelievers". You are also the reason that organized skepticism (AKA: "True Disbelief") continues to experience a "Skeptical about Skeptics" backlash!

Real skeptics simply withold judgement. As such, I qualify as a better skeptic than any of the three of you, who are already frozen in your personal dogmas.

Let me add to my original comment:

"So, Al (Ray, and Brain), you're absolutely, 100% sure that UFOs are "fairy tales", eh, he asked in response, also rhetorically?" And you're also absolutely sure that no amount of careful, scientific research will ever turn up solid evidence as to what the TRULY unknown flying entities are? And you're even more convinced that under no circumstances could they possibly be non-terrestrial spcecraft.

Gentlemen, no-one who waves the Banner of Science should ever be that sure of anything! At best, Science is only a tentative, consensual, human interpretation of reality. None of you may be comfortable with that, but them's the facts, Guys!
