Fair enough. A true scotsman will never put sugar on his porridge.

Indeed, a human being must either do one thing, or, failing that, do another thing.
There's at least two ways of reading what you are saying. In the one reading, you are giving questionable encouragement. In the other reading, what you are saying is a tautology.
I assumed the former, but apparently you meant the latter. You were right all along.
- esotericn 7y agoThe better analogy would be - if you have no oats, stop trying to make porridge. Or go and get some oats. It is indeed tautological. Which is my primary complaint about the prevalent attitude displayed in these hiring posts. Porridge isn't going to change its' recipe for you.
