......and here we have yet another warped interpretation of logic from
TwistyDave.....

What you are trying to distort is the definition of an inductive argument, which
goes something like: "The probability of a statement being true increases with
each failed attempt to prove it is not true." But that doesn't apply to you
since an inductive argument is only valid as long as nobody succeeds in proving
the statement false. Don't be discouraged, Dave, since inductive logic -does-
apply to you, in the same manner that it applies to everyone else whose
statements has been proven false time and time again -- there is a high
probability that anything you say will be false. So your definition would have
been more correctly stated, "The likelihood of one individual being correct
decreases in direct proportion to the frequency with which others succeed in
proving him wrong."
