This is one of those podcasts that may cause some of you to say or think, “Yes, but in ________ (insert name of one of my books) you listed _______.” which is very true. This is why I generally tell people to look to the commentaries and podcasts for more current information. Not only do I know more than I did when I wrote those lists in my books—a process that begins the day after I finish a book—the humans and companion animals with whom I work have changed too.
This creates another problem for me relative to the mass media. When I edited this, I remembered a trick I learned years ago about how to choose answers to true or false questions when I hadn’t a clue. The trick was to pick the option with the most words because it takes more words to tell the truth than to provide information that is false. Unintentionally when choice or circumstance leads us to condense complex concepts to lists, the validity of the resultant “facts” may be suspect too.
