Not to belabor things

but I agree, it is usually apparent for most *reasonably intelligent* people how to put info into context, and the way it's offered into context. However, not even close to everybody, in general, can do this. If they could, we would not have the types of mass advertising we do, and a lot more people would find much of it offensive. For instance, anybody anywhere who ever asks a "what's the best xxx?" type question is probably incapable of doing it, IMO (is IMO allowed in THIS context?). They do believe this question actually has a factual answer that is absolute truth. One of my favorite articles ever was Isaac Asimov's about the 9 different types of truth.

If you believe something to the core of your being, and you state it as fact, but you are in actuality incorrect, are you being untruthful? Most considerate people would probably say you're not, yet you would be giving bad/false information. People who do that are tough to deal with, and are well over-represented on the internet. IMO, of course!
