Mr. Orssengo, you have conviction in your beliefs; there is no evidence you ever were actually convinced before you took up these beliefs. To have 100% conviction is to be deaf to skepticism, and immune to reasoning. It is a level of certainty unwarranted by any level of scientific evidence, and a state alien to the scientific mind.

That’s fine. If that’s the way you want to organize your thoughts, fill your boots. However, dressing up this fervent belief in the language of statistics and images misappropriated from graphical analysis is on its face fraudulent. These are the tools of people who do not deal in 100% conviction about their studies.

It would be better if you went off and invented your own language, and your own techniques, for conveying your unshakeable preconceptions. One observes that Latin is already claimed by another religion as a language of their faith, but fingerpainting is still available as a graphical method.
