One item I notice in your statements of positions is that you tend to assert what the other person is thinking or assuming. It does strike me that this could interfere with actually understanding the other person’s position accurately.

You are correct that I simply don’t have time to try and understand other people’s non-falsifiable beliefs. If they have them, I just leave that alone generally speaking. I have enough scientific problems I want to try and understand and struggle with and life is finite, especially as we get older.

I do understand that some people, especially those with non-falsifiable beliefs, can be offended by this apparent shortness, so I try and be polite about it.
