A good story, I think a lot of us have at least one story like that of interactions with the technologically-inept.<p>But I wanted to ask you about your use of the term &quot;flipping the bozo bit&quot;. I&#x27;ve seen others use that as a derisive way towards people they think less of, but curiously the source of this expression is prescribing precisely NOT doing this behaviour:<p>&gt; McCarthy&#x27;s Rule #4 is &quot;Don&#x27;t Flip The Bozo Bit&quot;. McCarthy&#x27;s advice was that everyone has something to contribute — it&#x27;s easy and tempting, when someone ticks you off or is mistaken (or both), to simply disregard all their input in the future by setting the &quot;bozo flag&quot; to TRUE for that person. But by taking that lazy way out, you poison team interactions and cannot avail yourself of help from the &quot;bozo&quot; ever again.
