[PRL] How to know you know

[Greg Pettyjohn]

OK then, I suppose that eventually you will discover that 90% of
_what_you've_written_yourself_ is also bullshit.

Where I arrive at the above conclusion by assuming the impersonal "you" in
what has been already been advocated. A lot of good "wisdom" is spoiled
when we universally quantify over "you" (FORALL you.wisdom).

So I guess I've done my part and exposed the smelly 90% of this particular
bit of "wisdom". :-)

But I suppose the good 10% is this: Read as much as you can and always be
skeptical of what you read.
