Apparently not. I thought the statement "So this essay is an introduction to how I see everything" was enough of a qualifier, most did not.

And, yes, I agree with you all that most things need clear qualifiers, but harmless, obvious (obvious to anyone at an eighth grade reading level) opinions about the very nature of the universe is, for me, just as harmless as stating the sky is blue (without stating the time of day) .

The "consensus" world view is also historically flawed, lest we forget the flatworlders. Yesterdays obvious truth of a flat Earth is laughed at now. Or the consensus that the Earth is the center of the universe or the consensus etc.

And, yes, Traveler, my edited version, though heavy on the "I thinks" is probably more effective, but I also do not believe that English is the OP's original language (based on lots of nuanced wording), and should have been cut a little slack (and now we probably scared the poor fellow away) .
