Some people believe in a god, some in God, some in Buddha, some in cthulhu. Where do you draw the line? I can point out 50 things a day where someone knowingly goes against scientific understanding because their "instinct" tells them otherwise. Some of these people die because they were wrong.

I still don't understand the confusion. Energy that is absorbed doesn't end because you can't measure it through perception, so asphalt still absorbs energy, even if you simply drop a penny on it. This is exactly why math is a failed subject in the United States. I know, people argue this fact too.

Shoe production was not designed to benefit runners, it was designed to make cool kids buy their product. Running shoe manufacturers fall under the same general guideline. Look up barefoot running, read all the info then try it. For some people it works, for others it does not. Clearly, this proves that barefoot running is simply a fad, right? Or is there something more here than can be defined by what one person thinks versus another?
