The thought experiment with vomit eating is useful on several levels. One, it conveys a practice that is disgusting that many people (not all which is says somthing) will immediately recognize as disgusting, and Two becasue it is hypothetical it at some level suspends the urge to convulsively respond with standard tribal dogma and thus is an example I will keep in my back pocket. Thanks for sharing. Additionally, the discretion commentary is useful in a way that the more reflexive might see as passive or hypocritical even, but the fact is that nobody needs to comment on every little thing. Even if you know it is foolish. For, as you note, it would be casting pearls before swine and then they will turn and trample you, but more generally the question remains... why do I need to have an opinion, or at least why do I need to voice my opinion/perspective on every little thing? It is maddening that it has become so reflective to provide feedback/comentary on the everything. Sometimes it is necessary, but even then discretion could still be the better path.
