First you agree with me, then you disagree. I did say that I would
guess (or, if you prefer, assume) that most of the time, you're right.
My point was that this is not ALWAYS the case, and that you cannot
automatically make that assumption based solely on appearances.
Your "general assertion" seems to suggest that you CAN automatically
make that assumption.
In the unlikely event that you should ever see me somewhere (without
knowing who I am), you'd assume that about me, wouldn't you? Thanks
a whole fsking lot....
