The skeptic says "It's possibly false, therefore it's false." The credulous type says, "It's possibly true, therefore it's true."

Ironically, they're both saying the same thing.

But in the end, when we dream up scenarios to dispute or prove a statement, we should admit we've *run out of evidence*, and have resorted to consulting imaginary facts.

Uncertainty, while annoying, protects us from brash action; we should learn to appreciate it.
