If one is looking only at

1. behaviors
2. attitudes from a) countenance b) body language c) self reports
3. focus
4. self descriptions . . .

Of course, God sees the heart . . . but out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. And on that basis, the above assertion is simply not true when it says "nobody."
