04 Regular vs. Decaf

2013-06-13-Regular-Vs.-DecafContextual logic is a lost art. If something’s not labeled, it’s a mystery. Working in webdesign, I’ve found that in certain circles, you really do have to spell things out for people (and even then they get it wrong).

This is how it was when I literally did this job, serving coffee at my church. Two carafes, one is labeled “decaf” which leads one to deduce that the other is not decaf. And if it’s not decaf, it’s likely regular, caffeinated coffee. This is not Sherlockian style thinking. It’s just logical.

Where did this skill go? Why did it leave? Don’t we need to be able to figure things out on our own?
