I have no opinion on Ito and MIT and the Media Lab. I'm not

Setting aside the specifics of the Media Lab clusterfuck, this is a
remarkably concise way of conveying that
1) It takes *work* to build enough perspective to have an informed
opinion
about something;
2) Having an informed opinion is a good thing; and
3) Not having an opinion is OK if one can't have an informed opinion.
Thoughts?

I like your elaboration of Heather's statement, and I agree with her
(and you).

P.S. I also have been known to use Scarlet O'Hara's dodge: "I'm not
going to worry about that today. I'm going to worry about that
tomorrow."
