    Nah, you can’t reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into.

      I don’t think that’s true, and I don’t think you really believe that either…

        But I believe it after testing the hypothesis multiple times!

          Honestly?

          No.

          The original comment was “you can’t reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into” and I was just playing on that by trying to reason them out of the belief that you can’t reason someone out of a belief…

          Or at least suggest that you can reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into. Because it seems within reason that you can reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into and the reason I suggest that is it seems perfectly reasonable.

          (Yeah – sometimes I just get bored and want to see how long I can keep a sentence going and use the same word in it before it breaks down into total chaos).
