A conversation between Tuffers and a supernaturalist

Tuffers: What is supernatural?

Supernaturalist: It's a different state of nature.

Tuffers: I can't picture what that means.

Supernaturalist: Neither can I.

Tuffers: Wait... what?

Supernaturalist: Well, if I could, it wouldn't be supernatural, would it?

Tuffers: I... suppose not...?

Supernaturalist: Look, all of our understanding is based on our reality... so, how could we understand something that is not correlated with this reality? So, logically speaking, something "supernatural," something not of this reality, is pretty much unknowable by definition.

Tuffers: Um... okay. So, how do you distinguish something that is outside of this reality from something that we don't yet know about our own reality?

Supernaturalist: Ah. Well, uh...
