No worries

Funny though how we can be so easily swayed by what appears to be sound logic. The truth is always very difficult to discern, sometimes peoples truths are just what the majority believe to be true.

That's why it's so important to pay attention to the premise/s of any argument or belief. Any argument, any conclusion, no matter how flawless the logic, if based upon an untrue/faulty premise is bound to lead to a false conclusion.

A friend of mine and I were discussing this principle yesterday. He's in the flooring business and if the foundational work for any type of flooring isn't done correctly it doesn't matter, the finished product will end up looking like crap. Something as small as 1/32-1/64 of an inch in diameter will telegraph through 1/8" hard tile if it's present on the base they tile is laid on. All imperfections in the base eventually show.

It's basically a law of life, no matter what you are doing, that if you don't build a sound foundation to start with the entire project is going to end up being faulty. A business without a solid plan based in reality will fail. A life lived without a plan or a solid foundation will fail because there was nothing solid to build on. An argument built on faulty premises falls of its own weight.
