OK, I'll bite...regardless of your difficulty in understanding, what's
your excuse?

I'll defer to Bertrand Russell on that: "The whole problem with the
world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves,
and wiser people so full of doubts."

Boy, it sounds like he was certain that he was, in fact, stating the
WHOLE problem...but feel free to defer away...

I can't say it's the WHOLE problem, but if a lot more people did a lot
less deferring, maybe it would at least seem there were a lot fewer
"fools" and fanatics and a lot more "wiser" people...
