>My approach is to assure him that we will have a lookout posted who can
warn us when we get within 100 miles of the end of the earth,
Aha! That proves the earth is flat. Why else would
you need a lookout to tell us that we are within 100 miles of the end of the
earth? That means you need a second lookout in case the first one falls
asleep.
Aha! Posting two lookouts proves how dangerous
this business really is. We need 10 lookouts.
If one of the 10 lookouts falls asleep, it is proof
that the shipping industry can never be made safe.
"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we
practice to tell pragmatic stories to hang on to our jobs for a few
more years" - Why is telling the truth such
a difficult concept?: The earth ain't flat!
