Key word is "truthfully." I mean, either you witnessed the schoolroom scene you so vividly described, or you made it up (or perhaps got it from the Harry Potter books). If you did witness it, your extreme aversion to people (especially women) being right about things strongly suggests you were traumatized by it. If you made it up or got it from the Harry Potter books, then your "theory" about true believers based on that scene was a fiction to start with, one of the many fantasies in which you choose to live. ------------------------ Yahoo!
