I understood, I just disagree.
It is rational to believe that flying is unsafe even if you disagree with the argument that it is.

Why would you believe flying is “unsafe” unless you had a reason/argument for doing so?

Disagreeing with something doesn't mean you don't believe it. It means you disagree with it.

I don’t understand this position. How is it possible to believe something and at the same time to disagree with it? Sounds like what “Byblos” calls to disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. IMO If you disagree with something, you should have a reason; otherwise you are just being argumentive.

I could disagree with people driving cars because I am against car driving ( for whatever reason), that doesn't mean I don't believe there are reasons to drive, it simply means I disagree with them
Ken
That’s different! To recognize there are reasons people do wrong is different than calling what they do “wrong” without having a reason for doing so.
