'Proving us wrong spreads our message,' says every cult.
I've been in two threads. This one's about a children's book. It is explicitly looking for secret messages... in a children's book. The fact we're still talking isn't some proof of obsession; the contents of the discussion are what matter.
I care about you. Collectively and individually. Denialist attitudes are dangerous because they're pluripotent. Any bastard can exploit people who've been trained to reject all criticism as an attack on the ingroup. Keep your binkie for all I care; making an identity out of contrarian obsession is what's bad.
Wow. You guys really do not know what success looks like.
Meanwhile, back at the point: this is about a book. For children. It is a children's book.
And OP thinks it must contain a secret code about... something. A delusion you seem to agree with. Not sure why else you think 'there's no secret, it's a children's book' means 'they want to silence the truth!'
That kind of wackadoodle thinking is why you can't distinguish 'owning this stock now does not matter' from 'nothing interesting has ever happened to this stock.' Expecting the same actions to repeat the same event without the underlying complexity that made it possible is superstition at best and a textbook cargo cult at worse.
It's that dog who found a whole pie in a bush one time and keeps checking the magic pie bush every day. It's island tribes building wooden air-control towers and praying for WWII aircraft to fly in again. It's not a belief-set built on rational expectation... that's why you sneer about "engagement" instead of caring about the argument. You have made this into an empty ritual.
