Subject: RE: BS: De gustibus non disputandem est.
One CAN certainly argue about matters of taste, and sometimes one can learn something. The impact of the phrase to me is that ultimately, there's not going to be a "resolution." I was in a clothing store once, trying on windbreakers. One aisle over was a nearly elderly asian gent also trying on windbreakers. He tried on a brown one, then a green one, then a blue one. Took off the blue one tried on a yellow one, then back to the green one. Finally he turned to me and asked which one I liked. "The green one." I said.

"Why?" he demanded.
