I think what Steve was saying, Lampion, was that we have no real way of proving anything, since our senses could be being decieved, or we might be hallucinating. Although it isn't likely, it is possible that I am not in fact sitting at this computer typing, but am simply hallucinating it. I think that's what Steve was getting at. It's a bit facetious[sp] and not really relevant to the debate, but is hardly 'egocentric' or 'selfish'...
