If they accept the plausibility of my statement, we can continue having an adult like conversation about the relative merits of adding JOOKIE to the game...As opposed to simply getting one or more parties angry about either adding or not adding JOOKIE to the game.This is not plausible.What am I learning? People aren't robots.  Sometimes their feelings about stuff change, sometimes people believe somewhat contradictory things at the same time. Sometimes their experiences are vastly different from my own.If I accept that what they are saying to me is plausible, and I have no reason to believe they are intentionally lying to me, then I can have rational conversations with them about those experiences instead of arguing about who'e "right."But, hey... it's plausible it's  a waste of time?And now I think I'm going to strike "plausible" from my list of words to use within the next 2 years.</blockquote>
