My words:
'There is no data to suggest that there is a method for doing such that does not involve a parachute, a serious updraft, or another explanation.'
Your response:
'Nope, people have fallen from much highr than 11 stories and lived. So let's call these things by their names? OK'
In otherwords, I didn't say 'No one has survived a great fall', but that there were always clear explanations, none of which support Kim's fall. You argue a point already lost. You BELIEVE, and thus are a cultist. You are happy whenever you see of anyone surviving a great fall, but all of those survivors have a reasonable physical effect to thank for their survival, whereas Kim survives by kyung gong sul bope, which is essentially the same as saying it is by the hand of some god. It is not a reasonable explanation, but a mark of divinity in your eye. You BELIEVE, because you cannot know, because you dare not ask. You BELIEVE, and thus do not know. You BELIEVE, because that is nature of your cult. It is a personality cult, which means you will do what he asks because you BELIEVE that he can help you to be like him, but if you really thought about it, you would realize that if he could, there would be others he once taught who you also BELIEVED could fly, yet there are none, just as you will never be one, because it is not about teaching you to fly, but about making you feel like that's in your future as long as you BELIEVE in your cult master, without question, without reason, and as long as you are of use.
