And thus ScottW illustrates another failing of many conservatives, a deep belief (a principal really) that their own %$%$%$%$ doesn't stink held so dear they're unable to even ponder a hypothetical scenario which is unsettling.
Perhaps this is why they tend to reject academic thought as it often encourages this sort of thing?
I'd note that in the Peanuts cartoons the children always thought their teachers were babbling as well.
