Sometimes it is difficult for ourselves to have full awareness of our own standpoint and even more sophisticated it becomes to recognize the starting point of others from which they may eventually take off perceiving and assessing the world, building up their arguments. Swine flu is a good example for the wild mess of views that makes orientation so hard, bushwhacking is more the word to use for the process of gaining more information or knowledge than elucidation.
