The Evidence of Conclusion
It has been concluded that the evidence in this case is insufficient to permit you to admit that you do not know. Your not knowing is precisely what reveals that you cannot be trusted to think clearly about your own interior world, thereby negating the claim that you do not know what you aren’t talking about. Furthermore, your inability to defend your position of not knowing demonstrates a willful form of ignorance that is responsible for the thoughtlessness that is so rife in the world today. Any practice of acceptance, forgiveness, or grace is hereby disregarded on the grounds that they’ve not been executed by a person of legitimate standing, with the proper reverence and respect befitting a person worthy of those same qualities.
The decision, or lack thereof, to defend yourself offensively is proof of your guilt and will be taken into serious consideration during sentencing.
Joan of Arc, Edward Penfield, 1895
