Dear Joy
I ask this question if I suspect not the whole story is being told to me.
If I am correct, then lots other symptoms are immediately touched up on.
An unprejudiced observer should be like a photographer
If there is smoke in the way of him taking a good picture, then if he can,
he should remove the smoke!

A fascinating question, but heavily invasive and somewhat condescending, and
I thought you said you were keen to take the stance of an unprejudiced
observer. Doesn't sound like it to me.

Case taking
Re: Case taking
This question is not new, it has been banded around for a long time and I
cannot remember who instigated it. I, personally, would never dream of
asking a question such as this because it is like saying "you have lied now
tell me the truth" - it is also like saying you know more than they do which
is condescending, it gives you power above them. So, in that sense it is
highly prejudiced because you have made a judgement about them. There are
much more genteel ways of probing into a case than using this question.
