People with strong interpretive skills receive support from others. Interpretive ability involves i) classifying or grouping phenomena with similar attributes, ii) identifying patterns that share commonalities within the classified groups, and iii) connecting or comparing these patterns with other attribute patterns to gain insights. If the content can be presented in a clear and engaging manner, we will achieve interpretive supremacy among the public. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0044

Wine contains "polyphenols," which are antioxidants, but it also includes ethyl alcohol, which is a Class 1 carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. Wine sellers emphasize "polyphenols" for their benefit. Nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, are marketed by highlighting their benefits. The explanation is very appealing. But let's look at it this way. We'd laugh if the function of a car were redundantly described as "saving people from heart disease," "promoting tourism," or "robbing banks" instead of simply "moving people around quickly".  Beyond the idea of trying to sell something unreasonable with all sorts of health claims without knowing exactly what they are, there is the hidden deception of fooling others or being fooled by oneself, and greed. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
