Dead men don’t bleed
True story. A doctor in a psychiatric ward has a patient who insists he is dead. Nothing the doctor can do will convince him he is still alive. Finally the doctor comes up with an idea. He asks the man, "Dead men don't bleed, right?" The man says, "You're right, you don't bleed after you die."
The doctor then pricks his own thumb and then the guy's thumb. The patient looks at his thumb and says, "I see that I was wrong. Dead men DO bleed."
You can't logically convince anyone of anything if they are psychologically invested in their point of view.
