Hi Juan,
You write:
"You are speculating on something
that "might" happen and deriving a general conclusion from a particular
fact, that is poor thought construction."

I am not sure what you are referring to. What is the particular fact and
what is the the something that
might happen???  - If you mean Toffler - he was speculating too.
Best,
A-

I think we have to differentiate between an opinion and a statement of fact.
We are all entitled to an  opinion, but they do very little when they are
not supported by facts.  It is very hard to create a valid pattern of
thought and conclusion from no experience. You are speculating on something
that "might" happen and deriving a general conclusion from a particular
fact, that is poor thought construction.

Following the way you rationalize, Old Egypt needed scribes for all...
