If that belief makes you feel better... that's fine. I'm not here to convince you.

I'm not asking to be convinced. I'm just asking? Is it entirely true?

So you're not sure it's entirely true... therefore you want me to convince you with some facts... right? Umm... how's common sense? What does "muffler" mean?
