And my ignorance forced me to find out which "Stanislavski" they were referring 
to at 8:37, where they define the "Stanislavski Opinion" - "the opinion you 
entertain so completely that you functionally believe it, while you express it, 
no matter the possibility that you will express - and, to an extent, believe - 
an opposite opinion later."

Once again, FriAM has helped me reduce the cone of uncertainty in my own 
opinion about, say, why I think Tom Cruise is such a bad actor compared to 
someone like, say, Chloë Sevigny.  I just don't intuit that Cruise plays the 
role, so much as "talks" on topic.  I once (like, 20 years ago) got into a 
rather heated argument with a mentor about the difference between a simulation 
and an emulation.  He was *trying*, I think, to make this same point to that 
younger version of myself.
