I just put your assertion regarding the reach of the search engine to the test, using two words for the search criteria. They are 'psychology' and 'philosophy'. The search facility returned 1678 matches. The earliest one it found is dated Feb 26, 2010 2:47 am (Central Australian Daylight Saving Time), a day after this forum was opened to the public. Your assertion is false.

The earliest post in which you mention your 'truth mill' is dated Oct 14, 2013 8:43 pm (Central Australian Daylight Saving Time). Please note that the date matches what you wrote in the first sentence of your opening post in this thread well enough. :coffee:

So there. You got the message from several sources now. If that fails to convince you, you could always test it out yourself.
