Universal acceptance is not a valid criterion for human beings at scale.

Schizophrenic people don’t accept facts like “this wall exists”, yet we still reach agreement as a society that a wall exists and don’t try to walk through walls because they exist.

You are of course welcome to hold any belief you wish, but believing something that puts you in direct contradiction to an entire industry significantly raises the bar of proof you must provide in order to convince others to listen to you.

Your reply does not provide that proof, and thus your argument is not persuasive.
