Hi Dennis. You say there can't be true irrational ideas. You also say (#1625) that calling an idea irrational can be short for calling its holder irrational. Consider an irrational person believing some true idea. He is told criticisms he can't address. If he still considers the idea true without addressing those criticisms, if he evades the issue, then he's still being irrational even though the idea is true.
Fair enough. Will revise. By the way, I prefer when people use their real names. Mind changing yours under settings?
I'd rather remain anonymous. Don't worry, I'm not one of Elliot's goons. And I'll prove it to you.
