Actually, in many cases, I thought Blaine did a good job explaining his underlying assumptions whereby his interpretation of what was said was very different than Kevin's interpretation. Yet, Kevin just railroads ahead, oblivious to Blaine's response. The problem here is that you and Kevin hold to the same premises and underlying assumptions. It takes work to think outside your assumptions and understand the assumptions of another. Instead of working at identifying these assumptions, you fall back to the belief that either Blaine is blind to the contradiction or consciously is deceiving others. Peace be with you.
