that you continue to reject new information only demonstrates your lack of understanding of the scientific method.

Did I miss something? Did you actually supply any "new information", other than your anecdotal evidence?

Before you accuse me of being close-minded, you should probably supply some actual data for my mind to be open to.

I don’t require any anecdotal evidence

Why did you supply it, then?

What? I said that you need a theory of mind that's advanced enough to deceive someone and that this stage of ToM comes at around four. Suggesting that I think that my child woudn't keep secrets from me as a teenager implies that I think that they'll never develop a ToM (which would be a severe mental disability). And where did I claim that?
