<sigh> Imagine FUNCTIONALLY man. I told you that when I don't use quotes
or captials, THAT'S what I mean. I don't want you to Imagine it, because
that would be contradictory. I'm asking you to "imagine" it.
Anyway, continuing to insist that you can't imagine that you could be
wrong is no way to find truth. I can imagine that you could be right; I
nonetheless reject the possibility. If you won't do the same in reverse,
that's a failing of your own imagination, not representative of what it is
possible, in general, to imagine.
The alledgedly "inconceivable" can be conceived. Try.
