No, I'm saying that in order to believe in any facts, you have to exercise some level of human judgement and conclude/assume that the entire world has not conspired to deceive you. It is wise to exercise judgement in that direction for the same reason it is wise to round 0.9999999999999999999 up to 1 It is often wise to round 0.999 up to 1. ----- I'm not saying '2+2=5'. I am saying '2+2=4'. You are saying '2+1.99999999999999999=4'.
