No, as others have observed, you're just being intellectually dishonest. You claim studies prove me wrong, and "prove that" by cherry-picking sentences that don't support your claim - not even when taken out of context!

Want proof for what I claimed? Stop quoting Einstein, and read the study you linked.

> being intellectually dishonest

Nope, that would be you. You make a claim and don't back it up. You invert the burden of proof, in a "prove me wrong", which is both dishonest and ridiculous.

I write show (as in illustrate and you claim I wrote proof). So, put up with proof of your claim, or shut up, and don't accuse others of the intellectual dishonesty you yourself are guilty of.

And the Einstein quote was aimed at your "proof by common sense" assertion, which is just ridiculous on the face of it.
