Had this funny story in my mind, thought I'd share it with you so that you could laugh at with me:

Imagine you're standing in a large room, blindfolded. You hear three philosophers, also blindfolded, debating about what an elephant is, since one is standing in their midst. You hear one voice say: "An elephant is clearly a small rope-like animal, I can feel it very clearly." Then you hear the other say: "No, no, no, an elephant is a large, rough wall, I'm leaning on it right now." The third says, "No, I disagree entirely. An elephant is more like a large rubber tube with a hole in one end."

Then you hear a fourth voice: "I AM the Elephant. No one knows what an elephant is without me."

Who's right...and who's wrong?

Yeah, I'm weird.
