Unfortunately, the stuff I know about how the mind perceives truth doesn't come from a very good source. Oh well... Magic mushrooms grow under poop, so maybe under the worst B.S. lies something useful and good?

I think it's also important to consider that people may hear or remember part of what you say. A statement that depends on negation for its truth can easily be remembered without the negation to the opposite effect. It's important to take care with complex, layered communication that each piece of that thought builds positively toward the thought that the communication should create. That way, a person who gets just a part of the communication doesn't end up with the wrong message because of it.
