One might say the same about any suboptimal human action. Even looking back at my own in-game performance yesterday, I can easily assemble a long "wtf were you thinking!!!???" list. I'm honestly starting to wonder if we humans might be more imperfect than we let on. Stranger things have happened before! Now...on to read some stories.

That's not true, there's such a thing as forced an unforced errors. What you're saying would suggest all errors are fundamentally alike, only differing in severity, but this is of course not the case. I don't know of anyone who thinks in that way about people's behaviour. Your dismissiveness is woefully misplaced.

    Incoherent nonsense. If you cannot comprehend why simply dismissing shit behaviour with "he's only human" is moronic then that makes you quite special.

Consider how a graduate level physics lecture would look to a C student in grade 9, for example. > If you cannot comprehend why simply dismissing shit behaviour with "he's only human" is moronic then that makes you quite special. This is quite interesting, what does it refer to that occurred in this conversation? I recommend that if you're going to criticize someone, criticize something that they have actually done. Granted, this may be a lot less fun, but it is at least plausibly more optimal.
