Proof versus confirmation

Yesterday I was at a social function for the famous Melbourne Cup. Amongst
all the "small talk" I met a couple of 20 year old medical students, and
felt a rapport with them unlike anything I have felt befor.

Within "no time" we were exchanging our views on subjects similar to what we
talk of here. They "could not believe" what was being said. One in
particular said "I have always understood xyz, but have never spoken to
another about such issues"

When I talk of spontaneity and "confirmation" compared with "information" ,
this epitamised what I'm referring to.

I had to smile when one of them said "how come our lecturers dont understand
this stuff".?

I believe there was some horsing around there as well :-))
