Contranarian

Alternative pronunciation of 'contrarian':

A person who likes or tends to express a contradicting viewpoint, especially one who denounces the majority persuasion, usually because of spite or nonconformity (Wiktionary). 'Contranarian' alternative pronunciation first coined by theoretical physicist and gifted YouTube educator Angela Collier, attributed (possibly facetiously) to her (East) Kentucky accent, though this derivation is disputed by other noted Kentucky scientists such as Brandon K Bay who stated emphatically "Don't put that on us".
"Fred Hoyle, who didn't get the Nobel prize because he had to be a contranarian at every opportunity...it seems like he is being a contranarian just to be a contranarian...like you can't just be a contranarian, that's not how science works, my Dude...he lost out on the Nobel prize because he was just being a contranarian to be a contranarian and isn't that a lesson for us all...so Fred Hoyle leaves Cambridge ... loses the Nobel prize for being a contranarian.

Evidence to the contrary

Do you HAVE evidence to the contrary that you're just arbitrarily withholding? If you're arbitrarily withholding evidence that she's not being followed. What would you do if you had evidence she WAS being followed? I mean, you ran a rape-farm so I doubt it would be beyond you to lie. Would you 'Do what you thought was best?' If she was right? What excuse do you have not to tell her?
Dr. Rape Farm "Well, you know, I think it's best to, um, deflect to the peripheral elements of her life because THAT'S what I was trained to do. And if I'm wrong 1. I look stupid as fuck. 2. I would lose all of the money I make treating the misdiagnosis. Bet the psychological enterprise is TOO IMPORTANT for you acknowledge evidence to the contrary."
