@mik said in ‘It Must Have Been Stolen’:
You continually present your position as the obviously reasonable one. Other folks can look at the same set of facts you do and come to a different conclusion without resorting to faith.
I can “kind of” understand it. Maybe it is like that famous Indian folk tale, about the four blind guys who are stationed at different parts of an elephant, and asked to describe what they are feeling.
One guy is standing by the leg and says that he is like standing by a tree
One guy is standing by the trunk, and says that he is like by a snake
Etc
Based on the information they have available, they are sure they are correct and others are wrong.
Summary from Wikipedia
The parable of the blind men and an elephant originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent, from where it has been widely diffused. It is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and conceptualize what the elephant is like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the elephant's body, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then describe the elephant based on their limited experience and their descriptions of the elephant are different from each other. In some versions, they come to suspect that the other person is dishonest and they come to blows. The moral of the parable is that humans have a tendency to claim absolute truth based on their limited, subjective experience as they ignore other people's limited, subjective experiences which may be equally true
