Sometimes I go into deep-dives to try to find some truth to a contentious issue. I think it’s important not to take the easy path; certainly not if you want a well-learned opinion. Any sense of superiority this gives me is dashed when I realize:

1) It’s not reasonable to expect someone to dig so deeply, and there isn’t enough time to do it for every issue.

2) Someone, somewhere, has done an even deeper dive into the same issue. From their perspective, I’m the one that hasn’t done my research. When it’s “enough” is a fuzzy line.

To quote evolution; why go for perfect when you can go for good enough?
