Dear Sammy, when I, 3rd party, get confronted with 2 other parties which say one the opposite of the other, and I decide to believe one rather than the other one, I am taking someone's word.
But don't mind replying, I know damn too well that you'll keep babbling, I'm sayin this just for the record.

You are taking productor's word for it. It puzzles me you fail to undersatand so simple logic.
When you are at a cross, you can do eithr one of the following things: take one of the new paths, or go back from where you come. You've chosed to take a new path. You could have as well said "f#?t it, I don't care, keep fighting about who's right and who's wrong, I'll simply move elsewhere". That would have been the equivalend of going back from where you came.

Infact the rational thing to do, at first, is to do take productor's word for it. However, when others bring some _undisputable_ facts that put the product in a bad shape, and you decide to dismiss them, then you are taking, again, productor's word for it. Of course you're free to chose, at that point, which one's word to take for it, but others are equally entitled to take questioner's word for it as you are to take productor's word for it. At that point, at the cross, all paths are equally valuable.
if you question the word "undisputable", feel free to prove those facts are disputable - after all, you yourself said that there's no reason to believe something is wrong (in this case, there's no reason to believe the fact is disputable) unless someone proves it is (in this case, unless someone proves it is disputable).
It works both ways, Sammy :-) |
