As with those warned off Bernie Madoff's scam or NESARA prosperity cults or Freeman-on-the-land pseudolegal pseudoscholarship or "Peter of England"'s WeRe Bank scams, the deceived often misdefine "kindness" as allowing their delusions to persist unchallenged.

I have found your prior response to be rather unattached and showing the problem of emotional content. Perhaps you might be kinder next time?

Proofs don't work that way. Each assertion must have support or it is an empty assertion, the fault of the speaker not the listener.So all attempts at proof will be seen as just that, assertions.
Humility is part of the scientific methodology. One starts with the humble "I don't know" and seeks if there is a way to objectively progress from knowing nothing to knowing a communicable and useful something, even if only in a contingent manner. Humility is not part of those who claim without support that they have had a personal revelation since if it is personal then why would you need to share it? If it is of no utility to others, are you not just wasting time telling people about it?[you] can learn humility.
Also, where has Langan's story taught the value of humility?
