I 100% agree and my posts have been trying to say that none of us should be conned into deciding which way to vote without understanding exactly what it is they're voting for.
It is far too easy to be misled by statements made without substantive evidence to support them.
Both sides are attempting to mislead the electorate and the number of times I hear some of these statements repeated as though they are gospel truths suggest that many are being misled in exactly the way that Monnet suggests could be done to achieve a federal Europe.
As for those posts that seem to suggest I have been casting aspersions regarding the intelligence of some then maybe they ought to read again what I posted 
I'll paraphrase it to maybe make clearer what I was saying - Hopefully any intelligent person will disregard a statement that either cannot be supported or which the person making the statement is unwilling to substantiate. That applies to politics, business and personal interaction. People like Monnet couldn't hope to fool people if we weren't so often willing to accept statements at face value.
