<span>This line of dialogue shows that Rainsford is a rational man. He does not believe in superstition. He is aware that people in a group may disregard their own decision making and critical thinking facilities in favour of confomity within the group. If a superstitious idea begins to gain traction amongst the men, they may succumb to mass hysteria. Rainsford hopes to calm the fears of the listener by telling them indirectly to disregard their own fears about the island.</span>

The best example I can think of Bush (former president of the U.S) proclaimed after 9/11 that you (who would be watching his speech) are either with us or against us. Either, you are for America or you like terrorism. To avoid it, think about it first then relate it to you, believe whatever you want. While I was young when this was happening, now I proclaim that I agree with neither. I know how horrible it was but I don't believe in going to war for it.
