Thanks for the clarification. You are absolutely right- absent of
any direct experience, the guy will look to anyone as they wish to
see him. There is no way to 'make the argument' that refutes
anything you have said, though some of your logic is off, imo. Other
than that, the only way to see him differenty is through your own
direct experience. Some people think that is currently possible, and
some do not.
