Quoting your timid ally: "most everything *IS* subjective for people who 
don't believe everything they're told."

A person who accepted that would have to say that your data on increased 
gun ownership is actually true only for some people. And conversely, it 
would actually be simultaneously false for other people.

And I don't think he's so sophisticated as to try to  macroscopically 
apply Schroedinger's Cat - which would be silly enough.

Sure. Applying a force to a mass can cause it to accelerate, time after 
time. Applying heat to a mass of metal can cause it to increase in 
temperature, and that can certainly recur.

But your "intellectual" buddy would say "No, correlation does not imply 
causation" and "most everything is subjective." It's his version of 
"Ommmmm, nothing can be known, all is mystery."

Please have him wrap his bare hand around a frame joint you've just 
finished brazing.
