A large segment of the population don’t understand the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a belief.
Lol… you just proved my point. I never said it was a fact. It would be hard to quantify, but it could be done.

Reference for those out of the loop.
Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 6 episode 10, “Chain of Command”.
Picard is captured by Cardassians and tortured, with the promise that it will end if only he admits that there are 5 lights.

Useless pride? Or do they have some kind of monitoring system that only releases him if he tricks himself into believing there’s now five lights?

You can lick your ear, and you can lick your friends, but you can’t lick your friend’s ear.
This unlocked a core memory for me. I need to go back and rewatch TNG.
Hey man, I’ll say there are whatever number of lights you want me to say if you give me another one of those tasty eggs.
