"1) You may say, "You are a fool to believe [X], we'll have to straighten you out." 2) You may say, "[X] is not true, but [Y] is and [Y] is close enough to [X] that you'll eventually get used to it. Trust me, everything will be alright." 3) You speak of [X] meaning [X], while I speak of [X] meaning [Y] hoping that my way of speaking will eventually win the day in this play of language games, so that you, or your descendents, will eventually come to mean [Y] when you or they say [X]" - Owen Flanagan
In other words, you can only have it all if you change what it all means.
