Let's not, as I have scientific evidence to back me up, while all you got is a false sense of some sort of honor.

Although that seems pretty good evidence...it ts wikipedia. It may be a complete load of bullshit. Or it could be true. Either way, Azgarth got this pretty much right: it's all about how you look at things.

It's on wikipedia as a reference to the many studies and books and research done to show evidence for it. I'm not using wiki as an end-all be-all, just as a tool to show you what I meant.

And it's not how you look at it, it's what hard evidence can prove.

Also, are you really this dense or are you trying to piss me off? This is why every time I try to get back into MD I just want to leave again.

Neither, I just like having undesputable evidence in arguments, that way people can't do exactly what I just did. Better to point it out in favor than in opposition, in my opinion.

There are sources at the bottom of each Wikipedia page, y'dolt.

Yea, this I know. However, anyone can bitch about wiki, even with a list a mile long...I repeat what I just said: I like undisputable evidence.

That's impossible. There is no such thing as undisputable evidence in science.

Or you know you could just be optimistic to the point of stupidity and hope next time it won't blow up.

Tell that to your college professor on the subject. He'll laugh at you and you'll receive an F.

Okay, so, what, I was wrong in hoping for an argument that would win with complete victory?

What if I bet him, F vs A+, that i can predict that it will blow up again. And I am right, every time?

On a sub-atomic level, why not?

If I could, at a sub atomic level, watch the reaction, and see the same effect over, and over, and over, and over again, is that not proving my point?

Deamon, what they mean is eventually another variable will cause a different reaction, i believe.

Not in a controlled experiment. There is no other variable. Lol

You can't control every aspect of an experiment in this variable world of ours, dude.

You're demonstrating a trend, not proving a thing.
