Alex, Father T makes a good point. For instance, a famous anthropologists told an indigenous tribe that he could describe and prove, over a 24-hour period, what time it was at any particular hour.

The anthropologist presented his ideas and showed the tribe a watch.

The anthropologist said that western thought, and ultimately, the watch proved to the tribe exactly where they were in the 24 hour period.

The indigenous tribe refused to accept the anthropologist's proof....

I suppose they thought the anthropologist was a fool.
