Have him say "I'm the one who got the idea and I'm completely responsible for it"? When did you ever hear any big shot say that?

Are such words informative and useful or are they all expendable? If you say someone is intelligent is that OK? But it's not OK to say he/she isn't so smart? If someone does a good deed should that be quietly/silently observed or commended out loud? Then what if the person does a bad deed? Are we not allowed to point that out? It's interesting how people view communication/language. For every proponent there is an opponent. You choose sides and then stay on that side and judge those who don't agree. Human nature. less
