A simple and brilliant post by Ben:
"Here's one of the simplest ways to test someone's knowledge of an issue: ask them to explain the other side of the argument.
Ask the person who's pro-choice to explain the pro-life perspective.
Ask the person who's in favor of spending more money on marketing project X to explain the thinking process behind those who oppose the budgetary move."
and dismiss the I know, I know abstractions.
