Quote:One day a client starts a winning streak at black-jack. He keeps winning; he never loses.
Not the best or fairest analogy as it wouldn't happen, or he would be cheating and the casino would have no problem in stopping him and banning him at least. They would have had common sense enough to do so. It's a pure fantasy situation that doesn't give the 'believers' in the thread (and I'm not one) a chance to argue.

Common sense is used to generally solve problems that are non-abstract and real, whereas philosophy is far more useful for solving theoretical and abstract problems. Wisdom versus intelligence, imho.
