Hmm, I don't think we're on the same page. I don't think you need complete understanding of one thing to deny its opposite when denial is an opinion. I'm talking about denial in terms of belief in non-existence, not
proof of non-existence.
That would require complete understanding, since gathering evidence is impossible.
I was simply pointing out that where such limited knowledge is concerned vanity applies equally to firm denial as it does to strong belief.
But I don't think that applies to you since you're not claiming certainty for which vanity is applicable. I think that the vanity we're talking about only applies in a generalised sense to those who refuse to see an alternate point of view.
