Argument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
The mind has its own logic but does not often let others in on it.

All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired thinking.
A conclusion is the place where you get tired of thinking.
