Hoi,
Indeed I can not make people see what is in front of there eyes. Even in 
Latin script people do not perceive what is actually written. It is not 
a matter of seeing it is a matter of perceiving. When people are 
unwilling to do so, it does not follow that their argument is a just one.
Thanks,
