Ah, no--there's no problem with sweeping statements. The hesitation on my part comes in large part from the fact that I have a current obsession with truth, accuracy, and reality. Which makes me want to assume that everyone else does also, which I know is not remotely the case. Which is amusing, on several levels. I should hope your friends are honest enough to overlook the crap and bother to hear what you're saying instead of only how you're saying it.
What did strike me is that you want better for yourself than your reflexes and I don't think enough people feel that way. An immense compliment that I hardly know what to do with. Biologically, said reflexes belong to hunter-gatherers or some such. Since they're so outdated, how can I trust them? Might as well update. (You think you're out of hand? I'm so tired that...)
That makes so much more sense now. I was wondering where clumsy seduction, among other things, came into it. I'm more inclined to agree with more of what you've said, given that.
