....Chancellor of the Exchequer? What year is it? How would you get home from here? With questions like these, "experts" sometimes have to make a rough and ready assessment of somebody's state of mental clarity. As long as they can give clear answers, it hardly matters how off-the-wall they may be in other respects. Yet the true gauge of sanity is a little more complex and subtle.
Even if you can't fully articulate your reasons for making a particular choice, it doesn't automatically follow that you are wrong.
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool. (Epicurus)
