Why not? They seem like helpful principles.
- istinetz 6y agoI think particularly for autistic people that struggle to pick up the implicit rules of the game, they can be useful.
- neolog 6y agoAre there situations where it would be harmful to follow these rules?
- sbierwagen 6y agoSure. If you are talking to a woman in a romantic context, the purpose of the conversation is not to convey the most information in the fewest words possible.
- shard 6y agoThese rules can be a hinderance during social conversations, where the goal is often to show that you understand the beliefs and practices of the in-group and to demonstrate your superiority through a command of humor or charisma, where the implied and non-verbal communication is possibly more important than the actual spoken words.
