Therefore, what we think of as ‘evidence’ is our own mental construct and not objective Reality. It’s a lot like the concept of a number where the REAL thing is nowhere in sight.

How different is that from another person having a concept of something they believe is just as real as your evidence? Belief…REAL belief is different than intellectual belief, but not by a large margin.

Is your understanding of East, North, West or South different than that of someone from the past (say 1300)? Has ENWS changed because the understanding is different?

We must realize our own limitations and imperfection.
We must accept people on *their* terms.
