just because he happened to voice a differeing opinion than some of you had.
No. It was that his personal experience meant more than anything else, including cold facts or your personal opinion, possibly could. Disagreement has nothing to do with it. It’s how you present yourself. He wasn’t nearly as bad about this sort of things as others that are still around though.
I think I remember some of the personal experiences being referred to, and they seem like pretty important and concrete personal experiences to base an opinion off of. And I don’t remember him ever disregarding “cold facts.” His personal experience can’t possibly be entirely different from reality in the first place, because they really happened, in reality. They (in his mind and memory) are “cold facts.”
