There are plenty of books and websites with information on natural history, but you'll continue to depend on your considerable lack of imagination to keep you from grasping any of it.
Since the NFL season will soon be upon us, I guess it wouldn't be inappropriate to say, "Personal foul, 15 yards, automatic first down."
Sticking with football analogies, I think the discussion often feels like having someone say "What's the big deal?" after showing them a replay of the fieldgoal in a blizzard in the Patriot/Oakland game of the 2001 playoffs, or, going back further in time, of the immaculate reception in the Pittsburgh/Oakland game of the 1972 playoffs.
How long it takes someone to be persuaded to a point of view, if ever, depends upon many factors independent of the persuasiveness of the evidence and not necessarily a function of their sincerity or intelligence. Just my opinion, of course, but viewing it in this way helps me violate the
