yes, this is common human behaviour, 'only' takes a bit of open-minded
empirical 'world-study' to aquire this knowledge.

ok, i think i get your point, but when this 'blind' automation has
worked a while (experience related 'knowledge')
forming our 'prejudice' beliefs, it seems a bit hard for us to escape
them. This phenomenon is reflected in a common scandinavian saign
"don't try to teach an old dog to sit"

sure, i'll probably do what i use to, interact & communicate with
'common' people and try to understand what makes them 'tick'
I find great joy in comparing similarities and differences
resulting from nervous system 'blind automation' with respect
to local social memory and probably differences in genetics.
I'll check what the local version is, regarding the 'incident'
If you or someone has any other request, do pop them.
Yours
