That insight right there gives you and others who share that experience and feeling (sentiment? sensation?) both the lever and the fulcrum that's needed to pry open the lids of closed minds. Not to impart to them a new One Truthy True Truth, but to give them the option to compare ideas, thoughts and facts. The natural skeptic (me) and the true believer (pick a twitterati, any twitterati) both lack that intuitive insight - we can only know it intellectually and that means we come across as a either manipulative or zealots, or both. Your kind of experience is valuable.
