One last grump post before I search for some sort of caffeine:
People will often ignore the truth, or the pursuit of it, over something easy to digest that aligns with their beliefs and prejudices. No individual is safe from this potential mistake - no ideology is so sound that it is rendered totally immune.
To call out the errors of others, while making the same errors in your own space, is quite literally the definition of a hypocrite.
Isn't hypocrisy still a bad example to set?
