The most common problem mistake I see is people not giving criterion or importance to what is relevant and what isn't. It's the tendency to dwell on insignificant details at the expense of the bigger questions. A lot of internet discussion falls in this category.

I don't think that I have that attitude. You only have a few posts here and you've zeroed in and put a lot of effort analyzing an offhand comment about Jews Molyneux made in a blog in 2005.

Why go through the extra effort of programming when you could appeal to innate desires? Research by Baron-Cohen who shows from birth, boys and girls have differerent preferences in toys.
