Evidential Findings

H and I had a discussion the other day on how anyone can find evidence on anything they wanted. She presented a challenge by stating she wanted me to present evidence that cats were speaking in English. I accepted the challenge.

The conversation went something like this:

Me: "Have you ever spoken to someone from Britain?"
H: "Yes"
Me: "Do you understand every single word they say?"
H: "Not when they use slang or if they have accents."
Me: "So when they use slang do you still believe it is English?"
H: "Well, yes."
Me: "Okay, and when they talk fast with accents, do you always understand them?"
H: "No."
Me: "Just to be clear, am I understanding that even though you don't always understand what someone from Britain says to you, you still consider it to be English?"

H is now looking at me with narrowed eyes.

H: "Well, yeah..."
Me (smiling): "So how do you know that cats are not speaking English with a heavy accent that you just can't understand?"

She called me an ass
