The notion that H2O Man has a "pure" and "gullible" mind.

Although I cannot see directly into the mind of our most esteemed fellow DUer, I'm pretty sure I can make out that his tongue was planted firmly in his cheek when he typed that.

The wisdom gleaned from Rubin which has poured into this forum, combined with the life experiences of H2O Man, renders our online friend among the least gullible of us all.

As for having a "pure" mind, rendering a verdict on that term could lead us down a deep rabbit hole of semantics and philosophy. Do age and worldly experience destroy purity? I won't even TRY to answer that question here.

Neveretheless, I'm sticking with my certainty because "pure" was in the same sentence as "gullible," which places them both firmly in cheek.

And I will also state, unequivocally, that Sir H2O Man (whom I have just apparently knighted without any authority to do so) has earned the right to be a bit cheeky now and then.
