  We can’t know anything with 100% certainty. We can always imagine some razzle-dazzle, imagined scenario to counter the rational explanation if we like.

  The point of the scientific method and logical reasoning is to pick the explanation with the most evidence.

  When you’re never held accountable, this is what you would expect, correct?

  When they are penalized, the punishment only reinforces that the crime was a good decision.

  Yes you can, that is the definition of what a trademark is.

  Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?
