Pete Rose spent his life in baseball... so?
what's your point?
Hey, you're MAKING my point, and don't even realize it!!!!! Too funny!
I'll break the analogy down for you...just FOR YOU.....
Pete Rose spent his life in baseball, you are correct. Pete Rose,
because he spent his life in baseball, knows an awful lot about the
subject, and could EASILY be called an expert, and correctly so.
Yeah, but don't you know that one mistake erases everything you ever knew
about your profession? :-) And, based on this theory, perhaps 75% of avid
baseball fans know nothing about the sport because they probably wagered at
least once on the outcome of a game.
OH, NOW I understand! The point was that Pete Rose, although he knows
more than most about the sport, can't possibly be an expert, because
he got caught doing what probably MOST of the other experts (players,
coaches, etc.) do? Thank you for clearing that up!!!! I couldn't for
the life of me figure out what old Henry was getting at
