Richard614 proves that to err is human

[Quixote]

Richard614 has posted a recent articlein which a fast food franchisee used false SSNs on the W-2s it issued to its illegal alien employees. Based on that article he has concluded:

Guess those W-2's can be wrong.

Next week: Richard reads Romeo & Juliet and discovers the sun rises in the east.

TPs spend an inordinate amount of time and effort proving things everyone else accepts as given, then misinterpreting what they've proved. I have no doubt that Richard614 thinks that by showing that some information returns are wrong, he has somehow shown that his information returns are wrong. The TP mantra "income is not everything that comes in" is obviously true and equally obviously irrelevant to a discussion of any specific person's income. Their confusion is due in part to the TPs' all or nothing view of the world. Everything is income or nothing is. All W-2s are wrong or none are. The idea that items in a class can have attributes different from other members of the class seems to elude them. It is also due in part to their egocentricity. If an exception to a general rule exists, they "reason" it must apply to them, or it would serve no purpose.
