A matter of convenience would be to accept such speculation as truth, so we can remain comfortably in our chair. To learn the truth requires leaving our chair, climbing that wall and looking to see what's on the other side. Knowledge leads to truth, but it doesn't just drop into your lap, or your pool. You have to seek it out.

It's like trying to reach a destination by traveling half the remaining distance each day. The longer you travel, the closer you get, but you can never truly arrive.

Oh, and while you're at it, don't forget to get the poor SOB out of the pool!
