Okay, okay, when I read the "Anita explains how getting an F is still having a 4.0" post, I got as far the Mean Professor, and I literally went and got some chips to eat while reading. As in,
I thus nearly choked when I got to Ashles's brilliant observation, "She is as self-centered as a gyroscope." Pure poetry, that. Can you nominate two sentences out of a large post for Pith??
Shout out also to whomever suggested she was a ball of paper for cats to bat around, occasionally amusing but not otherwise worthy of attention. Great imagery, folks!
Special to Anita: Let's pretend you are going to see a doctor. You ask him how good he is at this surgical procedure, and he says, "I've had perfect results, never a problem." You then discover that, actually, one time the patient died. Do you agree that he can't honestly claim "perfect results"? Would you feel he was misleading you?
That's what you have done by saying you have a 4.0 when in fact you
had a 4.0, but
now your GPA has been dragged down by an "F". It's simply not truthful to say you have gotten straight A's. You haven't.
Normally, your grades would not be germane to this thread, but it is a perfect example of exactly the thinking error you are making with your, "I'm 100% accurate" statements. You can't just count the ones where you feel you had a good shot; you can't decide to not include the one failure, because it was somehow not 'fair' that you couldn't perform. You
could say, "I've only had one class that I didn't get an A in," and that would still demonstrate a remarkable scholastic achievement; it would also be truthful. You
could say, "My perceptions have been correct the vast majority of the time," and that would be truthful even with the misses on Wayne.
But you don't say that; instead, you insist, ever more shrilly, that you have never,
ever been wrong. You repeat and repeat the assertion that this is so, even though by this time
no one believes you. By doing so, you have shattered your credibility. Since we have no other party to confirm your claimed successes in other cases, we are forced to conclude that we can't rely on them as being anything other than selective memory on your part. Or perhaps, correct memory altered intentfully to deceive. Either way, there's no support for your supposed ability; and now, specific evidence of false witness by you as well.
Your credibility is zip-point-dung. Either you're a liar, or you're really good at lying to yourself. Either way, you have destroyed any chance to be taken seriously, not just in this thread but--due to the Eternal Life of Internet Stuff -- in the future.
What is a future employer going to make of someone who lies about what classes they passed? "Oh, that client was a big meanie, so I just avoided the stress of doing his project." It's the same logic, but it won't fly. No reasonable employer would risk it.
Best of luck, VfF; you're going to need it. Miss Kitt
I don't wanna talk about it. Weave me awone.
