If you were a GM, that opinion would be a whole lot firmer. 

Why would it be a lot more firmer? The truth of a statement has no relation to who is stating the truth.

But its firmness makes it nicer to the touch.

You went on the offense before castling (completeing development).  This rarely ends well against a skilled opponent --- you can only do that when you are actually winning, and if you are winning by that much, you outclass your opponent too much.   I see this constantly in the 1300-1500 rating play, players whip out 2-3 pieces and go running around the board looking to win the game in 10 moves, and end up wondering how they lost.

Yeah, I guess you're right.  That's why I've decided to stop paying doctors their exorbitant fees and just ask some wino what's wrong with me the next time I'm ailing.

Well, then that's a gamble. I'm sure you are familiar with the Correspondence Theory of Truth.

"Narrowly speaking, the correspondence theory of truth is the view that truth is correspondence to a fact—a view that was advocated by Russell and Moore early in the 20th century. But the label is usually applied much more broadly to any view explicitly embracing the idea that truth consists in a relation to reality, i.e., that truth is a relational property involving a characteristic relation (to be specified) to some portion of reality (to be specified). "

In reality, a doctor has about as much credibility as anyone else.

I'm here to help, Mr. Clifton.

The statement "you are sick", if it corresponds to reality, will always be true regardless of whether it's an idiot or a doctor.

Correspondence theory of truth, eh? Tell us more, Dr. Yeres!

I'm not a doctor. This is just general knowledge.

Yes, I can see how reading can be difficult for you...

Yes, the voice of experience is no doubt the pithiest teacher of them all.
