That's like, your opinion, man. Maybe stop being a jerk and try and see things from my perspective... I think a jerk is just someone who evades / sabotages communication efforts around the analysis of a given action. Or someone who knowingly holds onto bad assumptions in the presence of new information. The first line of defense against jerks is communication. It seems that more jerks emerge when communication is stifled and mutual understanding is never reached.
