Caleb, "stop trolling"*! You're asking very inconvenient questions :)


*that's the no. 1 answer to all inconvenient questions.

P.S.
just to make sure we understand each other, I'm on your side, but I
feel that arguing will not change anything, you can have the best
reasoning (and you do) but they won't understand anyway and will
ignore you if you don't agree with them.
