The general vs The specific
Remarque,
In general, I agree with you.
One watch brand owner said to me: I expect my watch to be liked by one third of the people, hated by another third and leaving the last group for me to convince. That shows my design is not boring.
After nearly two decades, I have learnt to be more sanguine and watch the young (and not-so-young) whipper snappers beat themselves off into a frenzy: frothing and snorting with indignation.
Alas, emotion is the key driver of human behaviour.
We feel, we care, we react.
That's what makes moderating a global discussion site like PuristSPro so challenging.
Cultural differences, Society norms, and Local conventions are always misunderstood by other regions. In some cultures, greeting someone with the question, "Have you eaten yet?" or "Have you made money?" is normal and polite. It is an anathema to others.
Regards,
MTF
Of watches and men, with apologies to John Steinbeck...
Knowing his nature, it was a lesson well learned
Your first sentence intrigues me
while I understand and respect your thoughts
