The one recalling an event with their mother.
Your experience with a old person is not their experience with their mother.
Can you not project your own experiences on someone's else's?
You claim someone's else's reasoning is wrong based on *your* opinion and past, without anything that would support the relevance in *their* case.
Your experience is valid but irrelevant in that case. Don't project.
- benj111 3mo agoWe generalise about non technical users all the time. Why is it unfair to generalise a subset of those users? What you term 'projecting' is my own experience, where I am supporting backing the experience of someone else. Yes we may be wrong, the op hasn't clarified as far as I'm aware, but I don't think that invalidates the greater point. How should I engage with young children? Should I talk to a 2 year old like an adult? Or should I use my experience other 2 year old to inform how I should engage with other 2 year olds? Older people can be surprisingly tech illiterate to a degree many would be surprised by. That is my experience, that is others experience. Yes there will be exceptions. But I don't think that invalidates the generalisation. Personally I would hope that people would make an extra effort to educate those needing extra help in spotting potential fraud, rather than doing nothing to avoid 'projecting'.
