Wilbur,
You are making the mistake od assuming that people carry their
diligence or lack of in their profession to all aspects of their
lives. As a general truth, they don't. Life and individual behaviour
are not that consistent, not that black and white. Your simplistic
arguement does not hold true.

There are several examples of this. How many of us males who are known
for our rational and intelligent decision making in our careers have
married a pretty face only to learn later that "a pretty face is high
maintenance"? How many successful parents when faced with wayward
children initially refuse to believe the evidence yest it was apparent
to others all along? How many of us with good financial acumen in
investments and property make decisions to purchase something based
upon other than "the best buy for your money"?

People are not consistent, not by any means.


True, but I'd rather associate with people with high standards who are
inconsistent than people with low standards who are inconsistent. Make
sense?
