if we had more people capable of realising the difference between an assertion and an argument, the world would be a much less retarded place
robert anton wilson was a much less retarded person - he once said:
"My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalised agnosticism, not about God alone but agnosticism about everything."
Proof by assertion is a logical fallacy in which a proposition is repeatedly restated regardless of contradiction. Sometimes this may be repeated until challenges dry up, at which point it is asserted as fact due to its not being contradicted
