What evidence would convince you of this, AV?
If you got someone else to write it in a book full of vague and/or self-fulfilling prophecies, then got other people to translate that book through several languages over a period of a couple of thousand years, that might convince him. |

No, you just have memories of being here. In reality you weren't.

You'd have to show it is possible to create these memories at a whim.
In the words of AV, "F."
I'm only kidding. Thanks for the effort, but it's AV who needs to answer, because the whole point is that his example is crazy. |

No you weren't. I implanted your memory, remember?
I suppose you wouldn't... |

Perhaps not on a whim but a skilled interviewer can often convince their subject that a particular event actually did happen. |

That would take a tremendous amount of interviewing to place false memories in over 6,000,000,000.000000000 people. |

It would take even more interviewing to create them ex nihilo!
Do you think it makes my argument more convincing if I italicise every single instance of ex nihilo? I don't need to italicise any other bits of Latin e.g. e.g. do I? | | |
