THERE is a tendency for a man to become consumed with his own beliefs and habits, making it difficult to accept other ways of doing things.

More so, section 5.b adds that if an unconfirmed report is found to be false, an announcement saying so must be made. He must have zero knowledge about proper broadcasting – kamote.
