    Love the first card. Don’t quite get the second. Isn’t Wm. Tell a proper subset of all men?

    Second may mean, that men should learn about love getting to the heart of their understanding, or, the arrow can go astray?:)

    Just to expand on #3, if the issues of life were thought so confusing for men, how could one not become confused with “all the data out there?” William Tell, Cupid, Men…hmmm?

    It’s a “entanglement issue,” while getting to the heart of things, a woman might ask, “men, where is your heart” and the men may say, “I dunno?” 🙂

    That’s one excuse, eh?

    If you don’t get the second one you are probably thinking on too high a level.

    That first card also captures the common rhetorical trick of claiming that a high Y value proves that you’ve got a high X value. See for example pretty much everything published by the Discovery Institute.

    God that’s funny. AND SO TRUE… The true flux of reputation is keenly conveyed in that first graph. Ha!
