Can one detect a bit of 'tongue in cheek' here? A modicum of reason
being supressed for a laugh?

These are your beliefs. They are to be respected. If you also believed
that the Earth was flat and the Sun rotated around it, or Elvis was
alive and well and living in Barnsley we would also treat those beliefs
with the respect they deserved.

The practical outcome of having beliefs is not that they have to be
advanced time after time and on every conceivable occasion in -user.
