  1. How true and they are generally the type of person who thinks they know everything, so you can't tell them anyway.

    1. Thanks. Yes, quite. If what we say concurs with their own thinking, or they understand our opinions and it's not something they thought for themselves, but they know it will help them, then they're usually happy to believe.
