Whether it ’s a scuttlebutt thread on a blog or a conversation in a bar , we ’re all shamefaced of interjecting with our own , more precise , more accurate — hellhole , obviously beneficial — take on pretty much any issue . But perchance we should all quit that habit , every now and then .
Like Randall Munroe explains in the mouse overof today ’s XKCD(click ‘ enlarge ’ on the image above to see the full rendering ):
“ Protip : you may win every exchange just by being one level more precise than whoever peach last . Eventually , you ’ll kill all conversational opponents and bear alone . ”
Alone . And lonely . Because retch out fact and pick holes in what other masses say might make you feel smart , but not everyone appreciates it all the time . Just occasionally , might n’t it be more fun to let conversation wash over you without adding your sage point to the mix ? [ XKCD ]
