I better not mention how big something is of mine then, you'll be wanting pictures.
and it's not always the case anyway. take God for example. we don't require proof that he exists when he's debated. same with a lot of things that's up for debate. if there were proof in the form of pictures or documented evidence, then there would be no topic for debate?
unless we were all in agreement.
