He sure is, he is unaware of the idea of 'logic'.
Person 1 has got more to go with as they have seen both situations, but person 2 cannot say that situation B is right because she hasn't seen the alternative and OH DEAR GOD can u tell us what this is about :eek: !!!

yes it has... i think: A can't be wrong just because person 2 never saw situation A.
:biggrin:

person 1 says "answer is situation a"

person 2 says "anwer is situation b"

then person 2 says to person 1 " you are wrong because i have never seen situation A"



i might be completely misunderstanding this, but why does the fact person 2 has never seen situation A make a difference to whether it's right?
unless the context is that situation A is impossible and so it person 2 having not seen it, just adds to the arguement "it's impossible so must be wrong"

i see what you mean..and you are right..i'll do some more explanation:

situation a and b are both logical situations, they both can happen . if situation a was impossible then person 2 would be right...but again, both a and b are logical situation

if situation a was impossible then person 2 would be right...


They wouldn't be right in saying "...because I've never seen it". They'd be right if they said "...because situation A is not possible".
Lets pretend that person 1 hates footbal and person 2 is a professional footballer. Someone comes up to them and says which happens more often in football, 10 goals in a match- situation A or 2 goals in a match- situation B. Person 1 says aituation A as a guess, person 2 says, correctly situation B, therefore person 2 could say to person 1. I am right because i have never seen situation A.
If you get my drift..

some questions for you

question one: would that make "A" the wrong answer, and "B" the right answer?

question two: how would you rate person 1? how would you rate person 2?


1) no
2) person 1: don't know enough to rate... person 2: narrow- minded, arrogant

1. No. Both are possible.
2. Person 1 has more experience in said situations. Person 2 has less experience and is ignorant.

Why is this in health and relationships? Is this to reflect a genuine situation? Or did you just feel like making people think? :P

I think if I were truly an airhead, I wouldn't call myself one. :rolleyes:

You're the one who made a completely pointless thread. If you want real answers, ask a real question. Use a proper example, i.e. something that actually happened, and ask us what we think. Then we might actually manage to work out what you're talking about, rather than assuming you're a mental case.
