| Oct 20, 2018 at 10:15 | comment | added | user20253 | Mr Pink is an ambiguous character here. You don't make it clear whether he is a dreamer or a serious researcher. Do his claims contradict science? Does he claim knowledge or is he speculating? Meanwhile Mr Black is making a dreadful mistake in thinking that all knowledge is demonstrable and empirical. I'd say both are making a mistake but the only technical fallacy would be the claim that all knowledge is empirical. All claims should be proved by evidence but not all evidence is demonstrable. In short I feel the question is ambiguous. | |

| Mar 28, 2018 at 19:53 | comment | added | thanby | Considering the discourse in the answers/comments, this question is probably better-suited for Interpersonal:SE, because it's more about how Mr Black handles interactions with Mr Pink. | |
| Mar 28, 2018 at 18:48 | comment | added | user935 | Keep in mind that, outside of your own existence, you can't really "prove" anything at all, even that there is an outside reality. So there is no fundamental truth. It's all belief. | |
