Every time I read something from you Dave, it reminds me my first trip to China.
Whenever you ask for something, you always get an answer - the trouble is that the culture makes it difficult for someone to say "I don't know" without loosing face, and you end up being given false information if the guy or girl in front of you hasn't got a clue... this is a culture thing, I guess that when you live in the country, these are the types of things you simply ignore, same way in France when you come across arrogant waiters...

Nonsense - if you see something happening once, you don't need any other information. It can happen, that's it.

Some of us, based on exactly the same information above, are either not sure, or remain staunchy unconvinced

Nonsense again. If anybody sees something happening, they will have no choice but accept that it can happen

Kinda like needing to drive a new car before accepting that it can run, or seeing the airbag deploy before accepting that it does indeed work.

Not sure what you mean - don't you test drive before buying a second hand car? same applies to handbag, don't you get your car revised from time to time?
Gosh, this is insane.
