Scott, I think this was a case of clicking the 'respond' button two seconds apart, as my post was not in response to your comments. I'm not saying people can't have theories or opinions or takes (I certainly offer my own on this board). I was merely commenting on people who jump to conclusions.

If anyone does not beleive how one's biases and predilictions shape one's view of objective situations and even facts, post this Magee story over on the PSA board and watch the reaction. You will likely find that many on the PSA board had made up their minds about this case long before it even happened. If you were to post on PSA board this excact story except say that the grader was Beckett instead of PSA, I bet you will find that their interpretation of the facts will magically change.

My point being that, like trying to look through a car window on a sunny day, people's interpretation of external facts and seemingly objective external situations is often mostly a reflection of themselves.
