Facts Always Get in the Way
From (The Customer Is Not) Always Right, another fine example of thinking skills unencumbered by reality:
(A Theme Park | Orlando, FL, US, I overhear a group of teenagers talking while looking at the penguin exhibit.)
Teenager 1: “What exactly is a penguin?”
Teenager 2: “Are you that stupid? A penguin is a fish!”
Teenager 2: “No. A penguin is an amphibian. You know, like frogs.”
Teenager 1: “You know guys I think penguins are mammals, because they got fur. ”
Me: *addressing everybody at exhibit* “The penguin is a unique bird that can ‘fly’ in the water.”
Teenager 2: *after looking at his friends in awe* “I still think it’s a fish.”
