   I feel compelled to mention that I'm not part of said "we". I learned   
   this lesson at least three decades ago. As for everyone else in the   
   "we" umbrella, well, I'm pretty sure they've not learned said lesson   
   because they have what is usually referred to as "shit for brains",   
   which I just so happen to know a lot about, because that's what I   
   had with respect to this topic before learning my lesson. Turns out   
   that brains and shit can come to completely different conclusions   
   about the same information/data. Whoda thunk, right? :-)   
      
   I don't consider it a "primary lesson", though. The primary lesson   
   is that shit can't come to conclusions as useful toward bettering   
   things as brains can, and the fundamental - if not exclusive -   
   component of said shit is ego. And this has been understood on and   
   off before, but wisdom regarding that is currently under attack by   
   a preponderance of unchecked ego, because that's what happens when   
   egos despise and malign the solution(s) to ego....
