<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1534252, member: 26302&quot;]I will say you are very good at that sir, and many aren&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would simply point out that your quote from your previous post, &quot;I have read so many different places I am certain of it&quot;, though was the entire intent of my story I related on Hoover. I could probably find 1000 different &quot;sources&quot; today that say he was a crossdresser. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numbers of citations, or amounts of websites stating something does not make it true. Repetition of a lie is still a lie. That is why I was simply warning you, if you wish to make a certain &quot;fact&quot; the cornerstone of your investment strategy, I would strongly encourage you to make sure for yourself it is indeed true. Heck, maybe it is, and you are fine, I am simply saying if a certain statement is critically important to your thinking its always best to check the source carefully yourself. </p><p><br /></p><p>We always believe things we wish to believe readily, and remember them since they reinforce our world view. I do this all of the time. Just a few months ago I read a PhD dissertation explaining how the Hepthalites were a heterogeneous population. This statement was critical to explaining many inconsistencies, so I readily latched onto it and accepted it as truth. Only later did I force myself to go through the work of looking at his sources WHY he believes that to be true. I wanted to believe it so much, I didn&#039;t wish to question the statement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said sir, not saying a word about your PM investment beliefs at all. I just wished to use this opportunity to warn you about this human tendency and how it can be manipulated and lead us astray.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
