I appreciate the perspective. I agree that knowledge and belief exist on a spectrum, but some beliefs can still be rational without full empirical support. The challenge is when people conflate belief with knowledge, avoiding the burden of proof.

Regarding UFOs, the key is whether claims are backed by strong evidence (knowledge) or weak assertion (belief). Skepticism and evidence-based reasoning are essential in any debate.

Yup. And also, totally up. Best wishes.

PS The Dunlop-Fetzer in used condition is being hawked via WalMart for about seven bucks. It's a fine little and concise thought tool book.
