Explico algunas cosas

1. Nature abhors a vacuum.
2. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
3. Myths and inaccurate models form in the absence of accurate information - hence, God, the tooth fairy, African witchdoctors, etc.
   
4. Apperceptions and false beliefs can result from the rigourous application of logic even in people of high IQ. Many such models have existed - see the geocentric model of the universe, the flat earth model etc. Such things are the fault of incomplete data, not the people holding those beliefs.
   
5. Therefore if someone has an inaccurate model & they are seeking after truth, do not attack them, for they are working in the absence of accurate information. Merely give them the information, or be happy with their ignorance.
6. Of course, if you've done your best to enlighten them, have given them the full picture, yet they continue to stick to their model, either they're right & you're wrong (get their info & investigate for yourself), or they're delusional. Feel free to change your opinion, point & laugh, or have them committed as appropriate.
