[Fester Chugabrew]

You shouldn't generalize from personal experience (or lack thereof).

Shall I generalize from your personal experience instead? Maybe most people you know have spent their life running around taking measurements of the speed of light. Most people I know have gained whatever understanding they have of the speed of light from reading about it instead of direct observation and experimentation.

Your arguments amount to nothing more than a brief for militant ignorance. Whatever are you doing using a computer or posting on the internet? Have you personally verified exactly how electricity works, or whether electrical theory is an adequate explanation for all observed phenomena? How do you know evil brain waves aren't attacking you through the screen? Have you checked for yourself?

In chosing between Fester Chugabrew and Newton ("If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. "), I'll go with Newton.
