On telephone handsets: "That this device allows communication with other human beings is a theory, not a fact. You don't know for sure *what* you're talking to." On Sunsets: "'The sun will rise tomorrow' is an unproven theory, not a fact. Nobody - in all human history - has conducted a single, properly documented experiment to on the Sun's risingness tomorrow." It's so very Friday. Exercises of faith in the modern world:

On ballot papers: “That ‘your vote counts’ is a theory, not a fact.”

On telephone handsets: “That this device allows communication with other human beings is a theory, not a fact. You don’t know for sure *what* you’re talking to.”

On Sunsets: “‘The sun will rise tomorrow’ is an unproven theory, not a fact. Nobody – in all human history – has conducted a single, properly documented experiment to on the Sun’s risingness tomorrow.”

It’s so very Friday.
