Sure, that wording would be better. I wasn&#x27;t sure exactly how to say it.<p>I think we tend to do that though for better or worse: we identify new people by one or two odd facts we know about them. And that alters how we communicate with them. In another instance at that conference, I asked the guy next to me who he was and he told me his name. He then told me he wrote a series of articles (which I had known about) and immediately my view shifted: oh <i>that</i> guy. And it completely changed the way I interacted because of course now I felt compelled to talk about his articles rather than something else.
