Yes, because it is only rational to judge entire demographics by a few individuals within them.
No, it wouldn't be rational to do that. Happily, that is not what I have done.

That was rather callous of you to say. We NFs bring valuable insight to the table.
Such as "there is no truth"? I believe you!
*examines your outstretched hand*
I'm not sure I trust this...
If there was such a thing as a true proposition, I'd say that you hadn't understood me.
It's difficult telling sincerity from sarcasm when the...opponent...is words on a computer screen, though I'm starting to lean towards the latter.
I'd use your NF insight to work it out, if I were you. Or would I?
Yes, telling what someone I barely know is thinking based on a few words is definitely something I should be able to do; you have me there.
So...you walk into my thread, not with answers, but to show a severely underdeveloped and jaded understanding of MBTI. This makes me curious as to what, actually, you have to say about the thread's subject; you know...that oh-so-little thing you stepped over on your way to insulting my entire temperament. So answer the questions, and prove that NTs are better at this.
I'm afraid I simply cannot compete with "there is no truth". I must bow out it in quiet obeisance to the brilliance of such a claim; I admit, you have bested me already.
Imagining is more like re-organizing nowadays. I'm inclined to say that just because we can't find the truth doesn't mean there isn't one, we just haven't realized all of the possibilities yet.
What?
Anyway, some would say that it was obvious that I was being sarcastic, and only an insufferable dolt would fail to apprehend this.
Of course, "some" lack the NF insight which you possess, and so are manifestly unreliable in their judgement.

"I think, therefore I am"
ask yourself, "I am... true or false?"
Proof that absolute truth exists... and since absolute truth exists, there must also be false truth... and since there is absolute truth and false truth, anything will be one or the other. Therefore, "it is a matter of perspective, nothing is black and white" is also a false truth.
you might say, "but, we can't know the truth", and I'd say "I agree, I don't think you know the truth either."
Am I? With all the variables we've been discussing, how can I be sure?
...unless everything's not one or the other; that's called a "circular argument", I believe. You assume one thing is true, and use that to prove another thing that, if true, would prove it (the first thing) true.
If you're not sure whether you exist, why are you asking this question in the first place?
Truth exists as an absolute state per that proof, so everything else is untrue or false truth. Two categories, two adjectives to describe something--true or false. Whether it can be proven one way or another is irrelevant except for convincing someone of it.
If sarcastic remarks are all you can throw at me, there is no point in continuing this conversation.
Because you asked me to. Just now.
So...it can't be proven, yet it is; or did you mean whether or not something specific can be proven true? I continue to put forth that nothing is black and white; the world is much bigger than that.
