MP: But this only further disproves your own point: *Reflex* takes you off the 
stove. 

To affirm that this reflex is based on Quality as opposed to simple biological self 
preservation takes faith because you can't *prove* its Quality rather than 
biological self preservational reflex. The latter is the only thing you can actually 
prove, the former is un-provable. You have evidence "for" the latter but only 
evidence "of" the former.
