In Reply to: You know, it's not very honest of you to agree with me, and then tell me I don't get it. posted by real_jj on June 8, 2006 at 14:18:54:
Your original claim was not that all acceptance was tentative, which is very true, but rather, given the phrasing, that one must accept all hypotheses tentatively AT THE START. Your phrasing suggested that one must accept something in order to test it.If you meant something else, then your original expression was not clear, to say the least.
One does not have to accept anything in order to test it.
Having an open mind does not require one's brain to fall out.
