Information for the sake of Information

Tonight I decided that I had to have a clear understanding of the term Sociopath, just in case I am one. Sometimes, it is interesting to learn more and obtain a higher level of clarity. However, the search for more data can be destructive. There is a point where the evidence is clear and additional information is sought only for the purpose of creating doubt. Data, no matter how apparently factual, can be colored and spun from black and white to a soft, cotton-candy rainbow with the addition of carefully chosen info. For those of us that have forsaken our rose colored glasses for a nice clear pair of 20/20 lenses there is a web of sticky-gray fluff that is not very fun or satisfying. It is shameful to try to sell the candy to the folks that see the gray fluff. Just get to the point of what you really need and let's save time on the data overload. Are you trying to convince me, or just yourself? Things move too quickly to waste time playing info games.
