"We don't speak the same language." Yup. I keep my nuancing to a minimum & I'm not one prone to loosely interpret facts or reality. When I take a firm position or draw a conclusion, I can defend my reality based POV much easier with precise quotes, logic, reason & cold, hard facts. And when I'm wrong, I have little wiggle room, so I don't fight it. That's why I have no problems changing my POV when time & events run counter to my POV. I let facts & reality dictate my POV rather than nuance them loosely until they fit my bias. When folks nuance facts & reality loosely, they can make all manner of interpretations. It certainly allows great lattitude for folks to confirm their bias too. The problem with this is that it's hard to make a persuasive arguement. If you have wide latitude in nuancing & interpreting, you can draw almost any conclusion you wish, regardless of facts or reality. And most folks can see right through it too. I hope that in time you will see why there is such a big difference between our POV's.
