I didn't specify whether it was policy or implementation or both. The government isn't a monolithic structure w/ everyone being equally stupid or intelligent. In the case of nuclear warheads I'm certain the people who have to do the actual work are not idiots even if the policymakers are idiots.
- mindslight 1y ago> decided that the new policy would be the proper response. How were you talking about anyone but policymakers?
- measurablefunc 1y ago> people who work for him Does not mean only policymakers. In any case, I'm not concerned about this issue so good luck to you.
- mindslight 1y agoThey do when we're talking about policies being made? I'm not super invested in this either, I just don't understand why we're going around in circles here.
- measurablefunc 1y agoAssume less & you'll be less confused in general.
- mindslight 1y agoI shouldn't have assumed you meant all of the words you said, or what?
- measurablefunc 1y agoYou can do whatever you want but my recommendation is to assume less & ask for clarifications instead of digging yourself into a bigger hole.
- mindslight 1y agoI asked for clarification on the 3rd and 4th reply, when it was clear we were going around in circles. Here's another request for clarification - it seems like you are recommending that I shouldn't assume you mean the words you say? Also if you'd like to elaborate on this "big hole", please do. I'm only seeing one kind of hole here.
- measurablefunc 1y agoYou should probably get your vision checked then. Eyesight & cognition tend to deteriorate w/ age.
- mindslight 1y agoFrom your profile: > Address the substance of my arguments
- measurablefunc 1y agoThat is indeed what it says in my profile but this conversation has convinced me I'll need to add another clause about making too many assumptions.
- mindslight 1y agoAssumptions are required to have any kind of communication. Assumptions like you're speaking the English language and we each mean the words that you say. But apparently that is too many assumptions for you. Won't someone think of the assumptions!?!
