Wasn't meaning ethics, just the risk of looking silly over time.
If you tend to make a lot of assumptions about someone just from their name before encountering them, then you are pretty much guaranteeing that you are going to get burnt a lot over time, unless you don't meet many people, as it simply isn't that good a guide.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI agree. Names just ain't that good of a heuristic.
- commandar 11y agoI guess the point I disagree on is that I don't see it as getting burned. If you treat people differently based solely on their name, sure, that can cause problems. For me when I'm mistaken, it's just a matter of making note of it and moving on. Not a big deal.
