And Sady, I definitely think that's a possibility. I do like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I think sometimes people say this because they are trying to express their "open-mindedness." I always like to find out what's behind the statement for the person. I usually say, "Tell me more about that." Or "Did you always think that?" And then hopefully a conversation sparks from there...
