Healthy Skepticism

[ehowton]

I want to assist you guys in skepticism, because there appears to be a grave semantic misunderstanding. If you don't believe in the existence of say, landmines despite evidence to the contrary, a proper skeptic will; take all necessary precautions, travel to a suspected site, establish a perimeter, and begin testing using an established scientific method. There is an entirely different word for a person who haphazardly runs out into the middle of that minefield yelling, "I HAZ NOT 'SPLODED!"
