Who says you can't be right? Not Theoretical Friend Jeremiah!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

LATE BREAKING NEWS!
Tonight at the Ranch, aside from what they brought up in their last post, the Dudes had a discussion. Sometimes, they have these real discussions, and they come up with real good solutions for these discussions.

Tonight, they are going to introduce their theoretical friend Jeremiah. Jeremiah has this problem. Everybody thinks Jeremiah thinks he's right all the time. They think he could never admit if he is was wrong and that if he knew he was wrong, he still wouldn't admit it. Here is why this probably seems to be the case: Jeremiah only argues things he knows he's right about, and why wouldn't he? A person has got to pick their battles. If Jeremiah was going to discuss with a nuclear physicist, about nuclear physics, which he knows nothing about, he would probably fall short in the discussion. Even more so, Jeremiah would probably end up looking like a fool if he tried to argue a point with the physicist. So Jeremiah wouldn't even bother to argue with said nuclear physicist but instead, he would discuss and ask questions about nuclear physics in order to better understand the concepts involved their in. Now. Lets say Jeremiah knew alot about bananas-because theoretical friend Jeremiah is a banana salesman at a local university. Jeremiah's theoretical nemesis, Baxter, tries to tell Jeremiah that apples and bananas are shaped the same, and could be sold interchangably, and no one would be able to tell the difference. Jeremiah, being the authority on the topic, through slow and careful explaination, would hopefully be able to help Baxter understand that he was wrong in his observation. After being shown the truth, if Baxter persisted to argue his point, he would probably be made to look a fool to any onlooking onservers. This however would not be Jeremiah's fault, but rather Baxter's for not admiting his wrong and leaving it.

Let's get something else out in the open here. Ben and Joel have known each other since 2nd grade and have never disagreed about anything. So even if they were wrong about something, they would never really know about it. But since in fact they have never come to the realization that they were wrong, it's not a problem. But if they were wrong, they would admit it, and then theoretically they would be right, in admitting they were wrong.


So, special thanks to our theoretical friend Jeremiah. We'll probably see him again.


Really guys, Don't be wrong
