Sort of like the car dealer who totally lost the sale with my mother when she expressed a preference for a manual transmission (she has never, ever, ever driven an automatic, narrowly dodging *that* bullet last summer) and responded to her with a smile, saying, "Oh, most women really prefer an automatic," as if what SHE, the individual, wanted and didn't want was totally beside the point.
