Could you rephrase that question?  The way it's worded at the moment is l=
ike going to a restaurant, ordering some food,
having the plate of food put in front of you, trying to eat the food and =
getting nothing but air, and then having the
waiter say, "What makes you think there would be actual substance?"

I am reminded of the quote by Edsger W. Dijkstra:

  Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require
  hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be
  appreciated.
