How has this taken much more time and effort than a regular thread?
didnt say it was, bill.
i intended to communicate the position that sometimes, although clearly not in this instance, the effort involved in our polishing of a turd of non-auric potential is wasted.
I really like the way people have filled the thread with lots of ideas more interesting, complex and far less reactionary than what was originally intended by the topic starter.
i liked that too.
personally I'd prefer erring on the side of letting it remain and having people thoroughly take that kind of thinking to the cleaners.
as would i.
Surely taking time and effort over posting is a good thing?
wait... this is one of those questions i dont have to answer, isnt it? what do they call them again?
dude, i think you perhaps misunderstand my position.
you asked What[...]the point of beginning from any other position was, and i answered you.
i think your's is a great position to start from much of the time, but i can see instances where it might be wiser to go beyond your initial assumption, look at the reality and make a decision based on the ratio of effort needed to possible good that will come.
if i see my train arriving as i approach the station, i asume i can catch it and run. if i see my train at the station, i know i will miss it, and i turn and walk briskly for the bus. if i run for the train i will almost certainly miss the bus, so it's good to make that decision correctly.
always assuming the positive gets in the way of seeing the occasional very real negative, dude.
that you seek to assume you can alchemise some faecal gold in every situation is laudable, but you must surely understand the argument against it as a universal rule? |
