Tell me then what do you believe in?
Ah, more distraction in an attempt to make yourself appear above it all.
Now, the rational person, recognizing that his initial argument was wrong would simply admit so and go about his merry way or if he did not believe it wrong would present a counter argument supporting his position. The person who attaches his ego to a position and finds himself incapable of supporting it starts attempting to distract from the discussion at hand.
Do I have evidence of this in your case? Of course. Your posts were all of the happy as a clam variety so long as no one was critical, then I dared type the simple phrase "bad build" and demonstrated why. At that point you went immediately defensive rather than considering the information provided you, much like you did in a previous post where Svirve and others tied you to a metaphorical whipping post.
What I "believe" in a broad sense is irrelevant to the discussion, which is about Holy paladin builds. In the specific case of that, I "believe" in what can actually be tested and demonstrated to be true. This is not belief in the vague sense that you use the term - this is actual knowledge. Attempting to conflate the two is simple equivocation.
Assuming? is assuming the same as believing or are you basing that off your education/training? Is assuming a mathmatical function?
Assuming what? I don't use the word in the previous post. In fact, the only point at which I used the word assume in the entire thread was when doing a quick scan of the numbers on Flash of Light at the beginning of the thread. Once to establish the conditions of the test (amount of spellpower) which you had left nebulous and once to indicate I had contradictory evidence as to the spellpower coefficient.
Vague assertions yet again. But then, that's unsurprising, as it is very much your standard.
How can you genralize a quote into a something that "people" believe in...
What have I asserted that you believe in? I've pointed to a flawed system of thought that you apply which is extremely common in pseudo-science, conspiracy theory, and cults.
Here's a quote for you(not by someone famous like it really matters) "I find the more I have sex the less I think about WoW"..."and the more I get outside the less I think about videogames"..."and the more time I spend with friends and family literally, the less time I have to spend all by myself with virtual friends." "Selfishness is a damnable thing isnt it?" "it leads you to belive you are OK, nothing is wrong with me, I am smart, I can correct the stupid ones, and go to sleep at night without a second thought about what I did today. No guilt, always right and ready to prove how right I am."
So, now your argument is, "How dare you actually do basic math and demonstrate me wrong! Now I'll imply that you don't get laid, ignore your family and friends, and are doing this out of ego!" Attempting to support this with a quote from an unspecified source is, to put it mildly, hysterical. Do you really think that gives you some kind of authority? Does it strike you as a clever putdown?
I'll let you in on something - writing these posts takes longer than doing the math, if only because untwisting your "logic" takes a little concentration. It is much easier to throw out wild claims and unsupported assertions than it is to take the time to debunk them.
New educational phrase for the day: ad hominem. Even if every aspect of that quote applies to me to the absolute extremes, it in no way addresses the topic at hand.

wow.
Congratulations on getting "conflate" and "ad hominem" into a post. Several people will now be cleverer for reading this thread.
You forgot "nebulous", "equivocation", and "metaphorical". Though a gaming forum isn't generally the place you'll see many people flex one, I have no reluctance with regards to using my vocabulary. I didn't spend year after year in English classes for nothing.
