I did so shortly after joining the Reflector and again recently in response
to another of your challenges.
However, I don't consider this to be an effective test of dogmatism. One may
say that one is open-minded, and even genuinely believe it, but that does
not make it so. You are clearly not open-minded on most of the subjects
discussed here.
