Indeed.

Although, on second thought, the effects of the lighthouse apply no
matter where you are on the map, even from places where you couldn't
possibly see the lighthouse from.  In, um, light of this, would it

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence that it
is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the

foolish than sensible.
