I think we all try to justify things in terms of stuff that we are comfortable with.

I do it.

But I think it is important to try - and one can try and fail - to understand the other guy's perspective. I've learned stuff - in more than one walk of life - of how things work on the basis of constant re-engagement of something that should be beyond me and ended up in a better than expected understanding for someone without any grounding in the first place. It's like a child learning a language - with enough engagement a certain understanding is attained.

I don't pretend to be as competent as those I've learned from but I learn something with each engagement.
