Well, let’s say I had a feeling that if I had answered “yes, basically”, then you might have given a condescending response instead. Apologies if I misjudged you.
And no, I’m not suggesting that everyone believe exactly as I do, merely that it is possible to change your beliefs regardless of evidence. Propaganda makes use of this all the time.
Then it sounds like I also misjudged you. I probably saw a subtext that you were wanting the earlier commenter to believe the way you did and that they just hadn’t tried hard enough. Probably just a disconnect at the “if at first you don’t succeed” part.

I appreciate your candor and kindness.
Life before death friend. Life is too short to die on a hill where I’m shown to be wrong.
