Within the last 24hrs, I had an argument with someone who… proposed concept A as a solution, then proposed concept B, which explicitly discarded and contradicted concept A, as another solution… just back to back, mere sentences apart.
I pointed out that not only would neither A nor B work as a solution… but that A and B also contradicted each other, and that this person just isn’t eve making sense, because they do not seem to even be aware that A and B contradict each other.
This person replies with a giant rant about ‘how could you even think that they contradict each other unless you read one sentence after another and think of it all at the same time?’
I really wish I was making this up.
This person did not comprehend the idea that… a paragraph of sentences build off of and relate and refer to each other, and are more that just a list of completely isolated bullet points.
They actually could not grasp the concept … that a concept may take more than a single sentence to convey.
