You stated: "As you know, the major point of the quote was to highlight how resistant people are to ANYTHING changing their 'favored beliefs' whether actual proof, compelling evidence, or someone else's simple coincidence manipulated to support chosen beliefs..."

The quote was: "For those who believe, no proof is necessary, For those who don't believe, no proof is possible... by Stuart Chase..."

The quote said absolutely nothing about what people do with their beliefs in the face of actual proof or compelling evidence to the contrary. You just made that up to try to look good to Poppet.
