   Sounds to me like stereotyping straw people.   
   A story told similar to the well-frog and sea-turtle.   
      
   One is reminded, at times, how happy the frog was   
   and how the turtle was unable to see what was   
   in the well about which the frog was happy.   
      
   - thanks! Cheers!
