 Tempting - yes, me too. But I am also an old coldblooded proffessional (and successful) manipulator of people. The math of this side of me tells me that:
1. Nobody is perfect
2. Let's say the size of shortfalls of person A is x, and person B - 10x. If I want to publicize shortfalls, and want the masses to perceive them objectively, I have to publicize person B's shortfalls 10 times before I can mention person A's once.
That is just me. Not everyone has to be like me. Then it is great when different people like you and me discuss their differences. That is fun, and that is how we pick up new info and perspectives. Hoppe is an interesting discovery for me, I will definitely read his book.
