Hey Russell,

Here is an arguement you might appreciate. I first read about it in The Brothers
Karamazov by Dostoevesky.

He said something to the effect of 'psychology is a double edged sword'.

...Meaning, using your psychological model of a person (built up by your life
experiences), you can justify anything you want. When you speculate what a
person would do in a situation, you have a great chance of being wrong, since
there are _many_ reasonable explanations as to why they might do something.

Best regards,
Joel
