It's those blanket statements, so
very positive, set forth little loud

They convince folks of only one

getting themselves Sin bad" by
spouting positive statements without
supporting proof.
They don't have many friends and
don't know that it is this habit of
speech which makes them so unpop-

In answering them, the other side
of the argument defeats itself.
