I think you win. :-)

Then we both lose. Sorry.

Out of curiousity, I'd ike to know whether you
believe there is NO REALITY outside of what
is measured, or whether it is just a totally
UNKNOWN reality, or whether it is guessable
but UNPROVEN (and thence presumably
unreliable and worthless to guess)?

Life thrives in the sea of Chaos. In Chaos, Life creates the
perception of pattern. The pattern is unproven, and ultimately
the stuff of self-delusion. So I'd say even the measurements are
persistent illusion.

And in one last desperate attempt, do you
believe you had a great great great great
great great grandmother?

I don't now. I do believe that Man evolved from apes, hundreds
of thousands of years ago, if that is any consolation. But
beliefs about things that cannot be measured... not worth much.
