Lol....I'm watching too much Spartacus. In their dialog, the characters use "divine" in place of "guessed"

My point was that the mechanism used was really quite valuable. While the target would be flustered, they should actually be thanking you if you were to use such a mechanism, as the contemplative mind would find it a valuable avenue to explore their own beliefs. This will either make their beliefs more robust, or cause them to change them entirely, but any belief that can't take scrutiny isn't much of a belief.
Actually, I thought your post was pretty neutral. I was thinking of Tyson, Jennifer and Joacim who seem quite off put by my revelation of a love of online trolling.
