Well, your explanation makes sense. The thing you explain makes no sense at all, and makes the alt-text even dumber. The only people I ever heard of who think science would be invalidated by magic or the supernatural are the people who think magic and the supernatural don't exist anyway - so this kid's stay in magicland has had the effect of making him think like a hardcore positivist or something.<br /><br />Also what Capn said. If the kid cannot say, "maybe there is a rational explanation for the portals and maybe the magic!" or "why should study of this world's laws be worthless just because other worlds have different laws?" then he is just not trying.godescalchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517093505437411930noreply@blogger.com
