A knee–jerk reaction doesn’t always serve

I JUST LISTENED to a podcast interviewee make his case. Well, try to make it. I simply wasn’t buying his argument.

But the topic matters, so, wanting to be sure I hadn’t missed something, I looked up and read his articles. In fact, I read one of them twice.

Know what? I came away even more convinced that his argument was dumb.

But — and this is the point — it doesn’t always play out that way. Sometimes following up turns my thinking around. 

Knee–jerk reactions are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. It’s always worth it to dig.
