I can see the reason for Attitude 2, but I think you’re only allowed to use it if your arrogant airy dismissal then results in a drill-down to find the real problem, which real problem then leads to an intervention that actually helps and clears up the original difficulty.
One reason I think I’m a loony is that Yvain liked my first post, and sent me some clever questions which prompted the metamorphosis into the second post.
So I sent him the second post wondering what he thought, and now he’s stopped talking to me. Good evidence that I’m unhinged.
My attorney thinks I’m sane (and he should know). And he thinks I’m wrong (and he should know). But he can’t tell me why. (and he should be able to).
Read Yvain’s post. As always brilliant.
