Livre d'Or

Like, Mensch thinks that people are telling her: "only those with personal experience of something should comment, or that if a person is making an argument, they should immediately give way if their view is contradicted by somebody with a different life story"

More to the point, Mensch thinks there's something wrong with that. Let us be clear, the breathtakingly ironically named Mensch believes that being expected to concede a point in the face of greater experience, expertise, or authority is some sort of curtailment of her liberties; where as I, I think that conceding a point in the face of information from someone better informed is called "not being an ass".
