2. I've often thought this.

If people don't agree with me on a subject, it can only be because they're pigheaded. No difference in interpretation or opinion can be decided, no chance I could be wrong because there's reality (which is what I perceive) and then there's unfounded, baseless bias (which is everybody who doesn't agree with me).

I truly empathize with Amar: His way or no way, he's right and everybody else falls into line or they're idiots or, worse, just evil. And since in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is probably violating the law and subject to having his one good eye put out as soon as he's caught, he'd better scram.

BTW, they disagreed with Amar in the terms laid out by Amar himself. So by his own admission, his life was a fraud. Or he was wrong, which he also ruled out. Given his egregious error, I'd expect his resignation on the dean's desk first thing Monday morning. (It takes more than a day to write a proper letter of resignation.)
