Give me a rational argument for why, given any situation, there
should necessarily be some unique course of action which is "_really_
right" (appeals to authority -- "the Ayatollah says so" -- don't count).
What does "right" mean, anyway?

Hmmm ... and if he isn't?  (How did it go in Carrol's "The Hunting
of the Snark"?  "I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it
thrice, so it _must_ be true!")
