Brain Chains
It can be concluded with complete accuracy that clouds are white. On that topic we can all certainly agree. The existence of gray clouds does not contradict the statement "clouds are white," but only validates another true statement, that being, "clouds are gray." The statements "clouds are white" and "clouds are gray" are both entirely accurate. We have exhaustive evidence that further study or discrimination relating to the color of clouds can only lead to frustration, divisiveness, and additional questions exponential in quantity and complexity. We have complete conviction that these questions are futile because they are beyond any individual's intellectual capacity, inclination, or usefulness. Therefore, we can be confident that the acceptance of these two phrases is not only acceptable, but complete in every way, and further thought on the subject is in error. And, that concludes our investigation into the color of clouds. Class dismissed.

I whole-heartedly disagree. Clouds are most certainly not white. Clouds are not gray either. Clouds are definitely purple.
(thank god for the devil's advocates)
While our arguments seem entirely hostile towards one another, I assure you they are not. The not-whiteness of clouds can be proved as well as their non-grayness. Indeed, even the non-very-light-grayness of clouds is not in question, insomuch I would risk the balance of my worldly fortune (which is admittedly easy since it is negative). We stumble into conflict considering the most unsavory possibility of cloud purpleness. Certainly there is no such thing.
Oh but certainly there is. I have seen it with my eyes and mind and thus it is must be as true and probable as their non-whiteness and non-grayness. Only the purpleness is even more real when you come to accept the reality of the completely unpredictable and unprovable. On that we must certainly agree?
Yes, I yield to the impossibility of proving the complete absence of these absurd purple clouds of yours. But, this fact scarcely makes their existence more or less true. I think we agree that purple clouds either exist or they do not. And, since existence/purple/cloud forms a universal, they could not exist for just you any more than they could exist for just me. Therefore, as I have used every instrument possible to detect the purpleness of clouds without success, I absolutely must proclaim their complete non-existence with my deepest, most innermost conviction. Yours must have been violet or something.
