LOL, yours. Whenever you talk about what "rationals do."
And I did say vaguely insulted - I'm not like, steaming mad or anything. But the problem is that what is the 'best' approach is always going to be subjective. And I pretty much disagree that a balance is better than an objective extreme, which I guess makes me exactly the kind of rational you're talking about. Which is fine, actually? Except that I think what could be considered the 'best' approach is always going to be subjective with everyone tending to favor whichever approach they, personally, use. Like, I don't have much use for emotional reactions, so obviously I'm not going to think that analysis is improved by indulging them?
