I knew a man who wand to say that, if a person began a sentence with the words. "As a matter of fact", you could be sure he was about to-tell you a monumental untruth, not à deliberate fin, be it noted. but something which he had only shaky evidence for believing, but which, in the heat of the argumont, he made himself bolľave absolutely so that could overwhelm you with his information, and win the argument, withou fueling remordsfully that he did not know what he was talking about Such a man, dot wanting to say what he did not know to be true, would first of all deceive himself.

If he is a child he is probably being the fruit of the speaker's own meditations, repealing what his father or teacher has said; if he is an adult he is probably repeating what he has read in a newspaper. in meliher case has he critically examined the. opinion he is expressing, which is what is important. It is suggested to many English children, for instance, that the Mona Lisa is a beautlist painting, and that Leonardo da Vinci is one of the world's greatest painters, and this they believe long before they' have seen a single one of his pictures. -- except for having peered at a pocket-size reproduction of the Mona Lisa that reduces her head to the size of the Queen's on s postage stamp. Then perhaps, if one of these students actually sees, on a culture tour, the original Mona Lisa, hanging in a museum in Paris, he may feel nothing at all except tiredness, but, rather than admit he is lacking in taste, he will appear.eval to himself to be overawed by the pictúre,a bezuties.
