No, we think you're being illogical because you refuse to accept the evidence that Lessans' ideas are false.
The strong emotional attachment is simply the reason why you refuse to let the ideas go, even the ones that are unnecessary to Lessans' larger philosophy, like his ideas on vision. |
But whether they are necessary in your opinion, or not, I cannot simply dismiss his insights because they bother you.
