Those who make sweeping generalisations are often wrong. As an example, one of our most famous generals of the last half-century was Vice-Chancellor of a university where many of his students were protesting against nuclear weapons, partly on the grounds that we would never need them as, essentially, 'any war between great powers today would be so costly that nobody would be stupid enough to start one'. He advised them to go and read Thucydides.

If I had to pick a motto, it would have to be my 'tribal' one, of course. Ready for Anything!

so this post read like you were proving my point except at the end when you mentioned thoukydides

as though you would have to read some random greekfag to know that people are stupid

An extreme example perhaps, but the point stands. We can often refute 'good ideas' by saying 'that doesn't work - they thought that in ___ and it didn't hold up!'

weren't you the one who said that generalizations are bad

seems like you're directly contradicting your own post
