And who provides the insight that "everyone is lying"? Doesn't it follow that such a person is also lying?

The only accurate analysis is to determine whether anyone is lying. Plenty of real things happen when you are asleep or out of your line of vision. Living in the real world depends on them being real. You are the person who throws all the history and science books out of the library. When you do that, you are left with ignorance. And you say things like "everyone is lying." Which would include you.

Now, understand commander, that torpedo did not self-destruct, you heard it hit the hull, and I was never here. Contact Dallas and give them the go.
