If you want a good idea killed, have it presented by the wrong person. We attach an outsized amount of meaning between the two, sometimes so much that we kill the person delivering it.

Sometimes?

The easiest way to get killed by people in rage is to tell them the naked truth.

That's a hard rule since humanities dawn.

I don't think that is true.

People claiming to be brutally honest, are often far more interested in being brutal than in being honest.

[still_grokking]

That may be true. But I didn't say it goes this way.

It makes a big difference whether someone only claims to be honest or is actually honest.
