Hm. When my wife tells me of the idiosyncrasies of some acquaintance of
_hers_ whom _I've_ never met, I used to habitually remonstrate, searching
for alternative interpretations of prima-facie loathsome behavior, etc.
We all do that. We do it a lot more, I've come to realize, than we know.
So my instinctive first retort to your suggestion is: "No." Then I think
about it, and evaluate, and try to see the matter from another perspective.
Well, then I say "no" again. Having been challenged, having examined my
assumptions, reviewed the evidence so far as I remember it (this was about
ten years ago), evaluated what I know of the man since that time, in the
most open-minded spirit that I can muster up this evening, I have to let
my original judgement stand.
Openness is wonderful. What is, is.
