"A final thought: do we believe in an after-life or do we just hope that there is one? If those who do so believe are eventually proved right, they will be able to say to the unbelievers, 'I told you so!'. But if the sceptics are right they will have no such satisfaction." (DRFC 1994)
If the believers are right, then I am sure that on arrival DRFC gracefully conceded his error. (LDC)
