Like I was trying to explain last time I argued magic the barstool is actually an arguement FOR funny hats.

In the parable of the barstool the fact that the barstool is actually, truly, mostly space doesn't matter, what matters is the fact that if you are hit with it, it hurts.

The fact that the laws and assumptions regarding magic may be complete bullshit doesn't change the fact that it works (in some cases) and it works better if you accept those rules and laws.  So the barstool says, the funny hats and the robes may be bullshit, but they still hurt if you get hit in the head with them.

I think the real moral of the story is: we shouldnt drink.

Because it provokes senseless blabbing which will make you get hurt.

Dont drink!

wow. way to miss the point as completely as anyone I've ever seen. for your analogy to work, the funny hats and the robes would have to hurt ME solely because YOU believed they would.

Nope.  The barstool doesn't hurt you because I believe it will.  It hurts you because it's a barstool.

what hurts me, right now, is having given 30 seconds of my life to both reading and responding to your abject idiocy.
