| Posted: | | | | I watched a program the other day about prodigies and how people who are brilliant at something (such as a chess master) can fail completely at something else (in this case fighting a flash over fire).
It boiled down to the idea their expertise informed their intuition in one field, but they tended to over analyse situations they weren't familiar with.
They dubbed it paralysis by analysis.
Can't help but feel this applies to many of the arguments here where people claim expertise in one field then try to argue another, ending up going round in circles rather than reaching a rational conclusion.
For what it's worth to stay on topic I find it odd we have a rule that prohibits correct data being entered into the database, and odder that the significant value rule is invoked, when debates and votes in the past clearly show significant value varies for each person. | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| Posted: | | | | I'm really growing tired of all this. Accept or Deny the contribution and move on... It really doesn't matter. When I buy the DVD, I will just make the change locally. Is it really worth all this? Yeah, I know it's the principle at hand, but this is rediculous. Even though I honestly had this title on my wish list because I will buy it (and thus voted yes for the contribution), I'm removing my vote completely. I hope the rule gets looked at in the future but I also hope we can move on... |

Gawwwwd, I don't know... this whole thing gets my Yes vote for Most Ridiculous Thread Ever. All sides have provided their opinions, all valuable, what's the point of going on and on about it?
