There was a satirical poem written either late 1800s or very early 1900s about a man who is frustrated that his carriage breaks a wheel, so he builds a carriage with a better wheel... but then his axle breaks, so he builds it with a better axle.


Eventually he builds a carriage where all the parts break at once, and the whole thing falls apart when he's riding it.

Does this sound familiar to anybody?

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
