Hi Platt,

No, I was saying other people have value in coming to a conclusion about
what is true, that one person's own idea about what is true isn't good
enough. After all, you brought up the Emperor, didn't he believe he was
truly wearing new clothes? If he valued other people properly, he would
have found out that what he believed was true was not true.
In fact, that story so perfectly illustrates this pint that I can't conceive
of how you could have been using it to make any other point. How were you
using it again?
Johnny
