Generally such notions are given short change 'round these parts.


So... am I to presume that you didn't move the highlighter because you decided to move the highlighter? That some exterior, disembodied mind forced you to move the highlighter? That you're just some ghost's puppet?

Huh. I just moved the gargoyle from on top of my computer to on top of the perpetual calendar. I did it because I decided to do it. No ghost required.

People fools themselves often with notions that seem to be 'self evident'. Some things are counter-intuitive. While we all use abductive reasoning daily, "having a feeling" wont cut it here. It goes down great on ID boards, though. Any fool can see... etc etc.
