Besides that, your observations and conclusions, which may or may not be deterministic, tempered by the most objective logic or just unreasonable, improbable or founded in reality, are still inextricably your observations. you cannot dispel or discount others' opinions based on ur perception of what a certain event means, because perception is founded upon axioms particular to you.
