re: #17 Naso Tang

Well, yes, I guess the assumption is that it was a neighborhood store therefore the passers-by knew the story of how the parrot lost his feathers. Assumptions, assumptions, and more assumptions.

We make a lot of those, don’t we? Perhaps more than we’re aware of. I think we often mistake our assumptions, which (outside of a controlled scientific environment) are almost always based on incomplete and/or narrowly understood data, for facts. I know that I’ve been guilt of that more than once.
