Any argument makes sense when you're trapped inside its parameters. Ask my
wife the therapist how coherent and consistent some of her clients are and
then ask her how crazy they are. Coherence and consistency are not enough
if they refer only to themselves because anything--anything at all--can be
made coherent and consistent. It's only when you look up and see the
damage that that coherence and consistency has wrought on the rest of the
world that you realize it may not be so coherent and consistent with
anything else.
