Your inference that "good for Scott, and anyone could Google and find the number of sensors in the seat of a 5th Gen., is a fine example of perception. The wording you choose, leads people to perceive your comments one of two ways;
1. You're referring to Scott as not being an expert. (which I know was not your intention)
2. Your comments cause another to react and make a statement which is counter to the point you were trying to make.

Just as you will look at someones response to a question and feel that they might be "calling someone a moron" by the repsonse they provide, is an expamle of perception.

People will react based on their perception. I'm sure you DID NOT mean to infer Scott is not an expert. And I'm sure 99.9% of the people who respond to another persons question are NOT inferring that the one asking is a moron.

I really think people need to relax and take a breath. As I said earlier, the majority of people here are a great group. If you have a problem, and it goes for anyone, bring it to the attention of a mod. or admin., and we'll address it.
