In Defense
Humans are naturally ego-centric. It's not easy to see things from others point of view unless you can read minds. Some people are pretty good at reading into what others think, but its not a basic instinct. This article is an example of how sometimes we take things for granted and assume everyone thinks the same way as we do. It's an opinion from their point of view... not everyone's point of view. People might would get along better if we all saw eye to eye, but without varying opinions R&D wouldn't get vary far. If William Stanley and John Westinghouse had not had a different opinion then everyone else, we'd been running on DC power instead of AC power in our homes. A little research will tell you why that is a important. Everyone has something to bring to the table, so lets stop complaining that someone sees things differently. Instead, why not just share your point of view, and maybe something good will come of it.
