There's a couple of people in my f-list that I think will find interest in that and they'll agree with it, but I'm not really sure that I do. I guess it depends on how you interpret the meaning of the last line and the conditions placed on the definitions.

Though FWIW, if I start placing conditions on the definitions, then the message is probably correct in a purely semantic sense and I can understand that interpretation, but I do think it's a technicality and that at the root, they are not 'right' but using terms that are too vague and casting a loose net to make their point.

One could make the counter argument that I am biased. I could not disagree with that assessment, but I would also point out that being biased doesn't make one inherently wrong. It just means to take their interpretations with a grain of salt.

From my perspective, 'normal' is like 'quality'. You know it when you see it.

This is quite similar to every job interview I've ever been on. I hate the feeling that wile I'm speaking the manager is in some sort of machine mode just looking for keywords, or even has a list with check boxed items in front of them that I have to hit, rather than listening to what I'm saying. And at the end I ask "Oh my god why do I keep leaving the house?" and stay inside said dwelling for three months.

Hitting the keywords is only part of it. If you're really clever, you not only hit the keywords for the job but you also take cues from the way they're dressed and the photos of family and other personal items in their office space and you subtly work those into the interview so that they really feel like you're a 'team player'.

If you stop seeing them as people and treat them more as a game that you're playing for fun and profit and just try to see how many points you can score it takes away alot of the stress.

Or perhaps I'm just twisted.
