Almost everybody, at some time or other, views logical arguments against
his(or her) position as cheating. It *is* probably true that a master
logician can
pull the wool over most of our eyes. And of course there is no logical
counter
to pure nonsense. Conspiracy theories are addictive; they give the believer
such a feeling of superiority -- but so is debunking. :)
