That looks like a classic Matthew 7:3 - Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
- rramadass 4y agoNot sure what you are trying to say here, but i was pointing out that the grand parent's snarky comment regarding the apparent contradiction between the two submissions just based on the headlines was "simplistic without understanding nuances".
- kbrkbr 4y agoWell, people do not always jump to simplistic conclusions and forget all the nuances involved. I think that makes this part of your reply an example of exactly what it’s criticizing.
- rramadass 4y agoNope. It was quite clear from the GP's comment that no time has been spent on thinking through nuances and trying to reconcile the apparent contradiction. It was posted as a "gotcha" which added nothing of value. So my criticism was aimed at that in particular and as a caution to others in general. Hence the use of the word "People" as a rhetorical device.
