Because you do not accept that water does not have a memory, nor do you
accept that fairies do not exist. You therefore accept both possibilities.

I don't.

I think it *unlikely* that water has a memory, while not ruling it
ourt as a complete impossibility. I have made no comment whatsoever
regarding fairies.

You however made a very clear statement that you do not believe in the
existence of radio waves.

Someone who tries to deny the existence of something when no one knows one
way or the other is the most ridiculous of all. "Closed mind" is the usual
term I believe.

Do you think fairies exist then?

Or can you rule the possibility out completely?

Then tell us what your position is on fairies, rather than evading the
issue. Do you think they might exist, or can you say they don't? It must
be one or the other.

Don't talk nonsense.
