I didn't get anything wrong... tell Albert Einstein maybe.... some deny it bit its widely considered his quote.
OK, so you think that if I judge a fish by its ability to climb trees, that the fish will spend the rest of its life feeling stupid? Really? You honestly think that?
I don't think you understand what Albert Einsteins point was and are expecting me to side with you is what I'm thinking quite frankly.
I do get what the 'intended' point is, but it's actually a bloody stupid example.
A fish wouldn't know how I judge it. Or care. It wouldn't spend the rest of it's life feeling stupid. It would just swim and eat.
Whether or not Einstein actually said it (and that isn't proven), the example is a silly one, even if the point it's 'trying' to make does make sense.
You are blindly following a quote just because it's 'supposedly' by someone famous, without actually thinking it through.
You don't understand mate you're focusing literally on the fish
This quote by Albert Einstein is a reminder that we should not judge others based on our own narrow criteria. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and what might be considered "genius" in one area could be considered "stupid" in another.
And yes I'm siding with Albert Einstein over you I'm sorry to say

Yeah, yeah, I get that. I do. I can't keep saying it. I understand the intent.
BUT, it's a totally **** example and there is no proof Albert Einstein actually said it. It's one of those that has gained traction and become 'fact' purely based on people blindly regurgitating that it's an Einstein quote. So who's the fool?
As I said earlier some refute he said it, but explanation remains and you already demonstrated you were thinking too literally.
The fish is irrelevant.
The fact is I'm going to side with something Einstein is reported to have said over you mate I'm frightfully sorry to advise.
I only mentioned the quite because someone said Longstaff was swimming further than the Olympians
Well done you.As I said earlier some refute he said it, but explanation remains and you already demonstrated you were thinking too literally.

What, the main character in this story you've spouted is now irrelevent when it doesn't suit you. Oh right.
I'm taking this as a silent.yield as you just had a "oh, ****!" moment.
Look mate I've explained the meaning and yes the fish is irrelevant... again you're thinking too literally.
It doesn't exactly matter, but you're not a fan of the quote which is fine, but there's no need to start puffing out your chest like a quail over it.
OMG.
I DO get the intended meaning.
I'm only being literal because:
1. You quote your friend Einstein yet there is no proof he ever said it, more the point the 'fact' is refuted.by many, and
2. I don't believe he would actually say such a flawed quote when you actually analyse it.
HOWEVER there IS proof that gullible people do believe whatever they see on social media - especially quotes that are 'attributed' to famous people.
So, you keep believing you're a genius my friend, just like all the other internet sheep.
Good night.
You didn't get the intended meaning otherwise you wouldn't keep banging on about the fish.
The fact is Einstein may well have said it and whether he did doesn't detract from the meaning.
Let it all out why don't you..

The fact is Einstein may well have said it amd whether he did doesn't detract from the meaning.
Let it all out why don't you..
OK, let's try a different tact. I WOULDN'T judge a fish by it's tree climbing abilities, because... guess what... I'm not stupid!
But more the point, did you see my post earlier where I said Miggy is unfairly judged because he isn't a natural RW, even though Howe has played him there? If so, then you know that I DO get the concept & intention of the infamous quote you shared, even if the example used is absolutely stupid.
The fish is irrelevant...although you're swimming around in circles.
BINGO! the post was about longstaff being used as a swimmer.....so yeah actually without seeing your Almiron post I agree.

Now come on mate this is ridiculous at this point
two to tango I'll meet halfway or you can suck my plumbs quite frankly.By the way, I've had one of my worst weeks ever, hence not posrtng much u ti But
The week I've had mate, the only thing I'll be doing with your plumbs is smash them in with a baseball bat like Negan from TWD. And I mean that with all the kindness in my heart.The fish is irrelevant...although you're swimming around in circles.
