It is in our nature, that when we hear the beginning of a good story and we want to hear how it ends, or when we get a taste of a narrative we happen to like, we overlook things that are real problems. Deep down we know they really are problems but we sidestep them to get to the part we like. It’s a universal failing, no one is immune.
Once you head down that road…a single, inconvenient question can stop the whole show. We don’t ask these, because they’re almost certain to lead to rancor — and, no answer. It’s rude to stop the show.
