[Vision2020] Prediction/pin drop

[Paul Rumelhart]

Had I been actively posting at that time, I would have called the owners 
of the shop on that one.

I wouldn't say I'm naive so much as disinterested.  I don't try to find 
out who each business is affiliated with, spiritually speaking.  I just 
choose to shop there or not based on what they sell, what their service 
is like, and what their pricing structure is.

I'm not a big fan of "tit for tat".
