Take Mark Cuban. He's a smart guy. How do we view his take on officiating?

Because he's smart in some areas, we should give credence to his very uninformed view of officiating? That's like looking to Shirley McClaine for spiritual advice, or to Richard Feynman for marriage counselling. They are both brilliant in their areas, but definitely not so wise in other things. Cuban has his strengths, sure, but I'm not sure evaluating officials is one of them.
|
If you realy wanted to speak to Feynman about your marriage you would need someone like McClaine to contact his spirit.

Yea, good one! But my point stands. I admire the heck out of Richard Feynman, but he sure didn't "get" women. That's okay, but my point is, it's just not true that because someone is very good at one thing, he or she is very good at everything else.
|
I can't comment on how well Feynman got women but I will say just because someone is very good at one thing doesn't mean he or she is NOT good at anything else.
