Now how did you leap to that!

Most reasonable folks would know that the statement applies to whatever the subject matter is. We all have different areas of expertise wherein we are competent. Of course there are those who just love to think the worst of people and are eager to jump on anything someone says just because they hope to show themselves wise by comparison. Some will even resort to logical fallacies (like the hasty generalization below) hoping no one will notice.

I'm going to assume that you are a smart fellow and that this was just one of those occasional lapses of judgment that we all have from time to time.

So, you will dismiss my photography comments because you dislike my political orientation. Great idea! I think I will offer Bill Gates a job now that our house-cleaner is unfortunately for her off sick.

This is now an extremely OT thread. Can the lot of you still feeding/reading it take it elsewhere.
