Tenacity Does Not Impart Truth [View all]
The persistence of an idea, whether it be unicorns, snarks, grumpkins or gods gives no validity to that idea.
The tenacity of an idea as a human construct for 3 years, 30 years, 300,000 years or 3 x10^google years, does not provide or bestow any shred of cogency upon that idea.
Ideas are only valid if they pass repeated tests as falsifiable hypothesis.
An argument of validity by Tenacity is without merit when one truly seeks to to understand what is real, and the world as it is, in opposition of what one may want to be real.
Fantasy is as it always has been: fun and sometimes comforting but, ultimately, false.
