Re: Elaborating On Accepting Scientist\'s Unbelief

I agree. "distrust" probably isnt the best word. However, the concept is clear and to argue over the semantics is silly.
I can use a poker analogy to help with the concept if need be. A person can win a few hands and a row and feel instinctually that they are on a rush, and that they should play more hands. However, intellectually they know this is false. So while they still have this instinct to play more, they have to "distrust" their insticts.

There is more to it then simply what you state as "semantics", if you read what I wrote I never stated that I thought that directly the word "distrust" is not the best word to use (though I would not disagree with anyone that told me that it is not a fitting word for his statement). If you look at it from that perception and value it only a one-word value understanding, so be it.
