They must be all wrong or all right eh? 

This is typical of how "fundamentalist" thinking works and why I feel
compelled to oppose it - false dualism seems to affect their thinking on
every, or at very least nearly every issue. A good example of the
neurosemantic poisoning I have mentioned before.

fighting for the truth..."
