I prefer those cute Frosted Mini-Wheats guys to straw men.
And to find such extreme views, just scroll through the last couple days
of posts. One poster in particular (whom I happen to admire) consistently
seems quite determined that you should acquire highly specific expertise

genuinely curious as to what he does when he gets thrown a curve ball -
hence my post.
