Waiting won't do any good, and he and Lee don't understand the word "prove." He
believes that saying it, and having other people say it, over and over, MAKES
it true. Years ago this was referred to as the gospel rule. Briefly:

"Anyway, the gospel rule (tm> goes like this:

First person says it (no matter how ridiculous it is) Second person swears to
it being true Third person preaches it as the gospel

Hence the title, "third person gospel rule""
