"Because we are all correct" seems to be the prevailing answer.
You expect an honest response here, the very place you're talking about?
Regardless of how you feel about what the answers are, what makes you think people are lying, rather than speaking the truth as they see it?
Well, I don't think they're lying per se. But when you ask a group of people "why is it you all believe this" of course they're going to respond "because we are right." I'm more asking OP why he would even post this guestion here than criticizing the people responding, he's not going to get any semblance of a helpful answer.
Some of these seem to have had insightful and worthwhile commentary. Of course, I might just be saying that because I think they're right.
