And yet they just sort of brushed it off and moved on.

That you're just, I mean, you've just admitted that everything you've ever said is based on nothing.

If you can just disregard this.

Yeah.

So you can't tell me this is a science if you're like, well, it's just based on, you just have to have faith.

You just have to believe.

Yeah.
