Maria Konnikova explains Winnie the Pooh in a very insightfull and clear blog post.

I would like to think I am immune to the sort of bias she describes , but of course I am not , you are.

"Christians" proves Maria Konnekova's point. He prefers to ogle women than to read anything they might say. Just as Pooh prefers honey to acorns.

I know what Maria said and applied to  what you said. You prefer women with jugs to women that think, just as Pooh prefers honey to acorns.

You are not a very complex organism. Certainly not as complex as you believe yourself to be.

Your lying and incorrect statements continue to prove you are a jug-head.

You are not a very complex organism. Certainly not as complex as you believe yourself to be.

Your judgements about people you know very little about expose the hater that you are.

   I don't think you have read through Maria's blog post.

     I do reccomend it , it is about something universal in the human condition.

       Something that we see in this site quite often.

           I don't mind if you appreaciate attractiveness, why should only great grand master painters have fun?.
