Those are not always the problem. The problem are the few who only have a sound byte and get attached only to that sound byte. They cannot expand beyond and embrace a larger picture.

What do they call that thing where you carry 1,000 pounds of your most heavy-handed bias into every exchange of information, thus allowing you to make instant snap judgments based on almost no tangible informaton whatsoever, thus guaranteeing that your body of knowledge remains a stagnant, static platform from which you can shout hollow proclamations of superiority?
