"be wary of absolutes"

After thinking about that Hayden Christensen film Shattered Glass i remembered a freelance journo over at Wired News whom i wrote to once about the Nigerian internet fraud situation (and got a nice reply back from) and the trouble she got in regarding unvarifiable sources. I found this article What We Can Learn From Michelle Delio at Gelf Magazine really interesting.

My favourite bit is a quote from Wired News at the end of the article:

"We haven't made any official proclamation on using Delio in the future. We don't plan on assigning her anything, but we may revisit that at some point. I think you should always be wary of absolutes, and 'never' is a big word."

I think that's a great commment. Fairly applicable across life in general. The last sentence only of course, fairly limiting otherwise...

quote for the day:
"I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work."
