The Master argued with no one for he knew that what the " arguer " sought was

confirmation of his beliefs, not the Truth.

 

He once showed them the value of an argument:

 

" Does a slice of bread fall with the buttered side up or down? "

 

" With the buttered side down, of course. "

 

" No, with the buttered side up. "

 

" Let's put it to the test. "

 

So a slice of bread was buttered and thrown up in the air. It fell-buttered

side up!

 

" I win! "

 

" Only because I made a mistake, " " What mistake? "

 

" I obviously buttered the wrong side. "
