I Bet It

Whenever I hear myself say "I doubt it", I hear my brother echo "I bet it". 

At some point in our young lives, that was his favorite retort. 

Like anyone who grew up pre-information age, I wonder how many of those disagreements may have been solved in seconds. Imagine not running to an assumed authority figure and instead bowing at the foot of the all-powerful internet.

I realize the argument is the point, not the answer. So you find the answer and you learn something, but you've lost the interplay.

I don't remember any of the answers. I remember arguing with my brother.
