I'm not saying compromise your views for popularity points. I'm saying in the face of reasonable proof of any point you make being wrong, you have to be willing to acknowledge when you are wrong. Such as when TheBoost made a comparison of the faces of whats-his-face and Morrison. They have strikingly similar facial features, and all you could do was say "nu-uh" and claim that you have better facial recognition than most other people. WHAT?!
I'm not popular on these boards, and I don't pretend to be. Nor do I try to be. But at least I have an efficient method by which to go about stating my views, and in some instances, it does draw some people in. I didn't do that by being a jackass and stubbornly ignoring sound proof against my arguments. I lock horns with others sometimes, but I've never been stubbornly arrogant while doing so.

Nope. I'm standing up to the bully who's picking on me and keeps picking on me.

In other words I should admit I'm wrong whenever DarkFather thinks I'm wrong? Have you considered that maybe you might ever be wrong about thinking I'm wrong about something? Like that example you give, classic case. You just are not prepared to even consider that I could possibly ever be right about those faces. You've never even considered it. Obviously I MUST be delusional or something or just refusing to concede, right? Ok, get this, I have been working on faces for many years. My ability in face study surpasses that of the vast majority of people. That has been proven again and again. I know what I'm talking about in the case of Morrison and Logan's faces. Those two actors do not have "strikingly similar facial features". They have some distinct similarities, but they also have very distinct differences. Their faces are of a different sort. TheBoost's posted pic did not prove they were so similar. It demonstrated their difference as much as it demonstrated any similarity they have. So, no there was not reasonable proof that I was wrong. It only appeared to you to be reasonable proof because you can't see the major differences between those two faces. But I can. TheBoost proved nothing. There was no good reason for me to concede anything.
See, this is not me refusing to concede when I should be. This is you refusing to even consider that somebody could have abilities you don't have or that thinking that's different from yours could actually work or be right. Look to yourself for unreasonableness before you look to me.
I didn't do that by being a jackass and stubbornly ignoring sound proof against my arguments. I lock horns with others sometimes, but I've never been stubbornly arrogant while doing so.
I would have to disagree with that.
And quit with the "stubbornly ignoring sound proof" nonsense. Just because YOU think something is sound proof doesn't mean it is.
