>Many people like this are disingenuous at best, malicious trying to trap you at worst.
>For the people who ARE being honest… Well they can't see a face when it's staring at them, they deny it. So, again not worth justifying yourself or trying to get them to see it.
>Unless your personal reputation is on the line, don't sweat it.
>Tips if you need to defend your position:
>Ask them to defend their claim - ask them why it's not a head besides simply "pareidolia", put the burden of proof on them to debunk, discredit, prove their criticism.
>Be dismissive by saying "ok", or better yet - laughing, "lol".
>You can make them look desperate if they go HAM with the burden of proof on them but fail to deliver. "Yikes. Who hurt you?"
>and of course always getting the last word in to trivialize the most recent thing they said.
>"Wow." is a standby.
>You csn practice this by using message boards, but you'll need to practice with people to make it a reflex.
>I try to avoid people entirely who would make me want to or need to resort to these tactics.
>But you need a big stick to beat people with, otherwise you're not being humble by not using a stick - you're bluffing
