obvsly everyone makes mistakes from time to time, but it seems like often I hear someone ask a professor or a TA a question, and know exactly what they mean, but the TA or prof misinterprets the question and starts to answer some other general information tangentially related to.
or like today i had jury duty and they had to ask every fucking potential just which there were shitloads whether they had been a victim of a bunch of fairly minor crimes and whether that would affect their judgement for this case
so like everyone just raised their hand and told some story about a brother or stepsister that got robbed or something which wasnt even what the judge asked and then when they asked if they thought it would have any effect on their ability to be fair, they would just say now. like wtf, why tell the story in the first place if the judge told you it specifically wasnt relative? like 10 people did this with various thing. one girl just talked about how she knew gang members which had no relevance to anything
so mostly jury duty is a chance for really boring people to get their 16 minutes of fame
especially in a legal or political context they see any invitation to speak as a way to divert the conversation into whatever dumbass direction will benefit them

yea i guess thats the sad sad truth. also anytime anything with gang was mentioned like 7 people would stand up and say there were ganags in their school but they didnt know any so it didnt matter. wasting everyones time.
there was a heaps better one where the interviewer asks him the same question several times and gets several different non-answers but this is pretty typical
So I don't understand this topic of this thread. I think what I'm trying to say is are you capable of asking a question properly. I got lost in syntax somewhere
