The only thing reading a book that proves you right is reading one that proves you wrong.

Binary Statements or sentences avoiding 'both' or 'all' in the sanswer... Classic / Common temptation to go too far / not give more options in the proposition / scenario while expressing your wisdom... 

@garyackerman Too far in it's statement for this post (and one, maybe two I noted befoer)

I think it's very human and a common temptation to fall into saying this or that shorten to a detriment (like both and all exit points can also be included).

So a classic type of extreme or 1 or 0 here without over-reacting

(just saying it can be that you read something that confirms you were right AND wrong for reading the book ...or you don't *only* want to read book that only prove you wrong as the correct books to read...

While I accept by far the sentence and is very tolerable by those that can assume more cases - it's VERY COMMON among reactions or expressions that fuel other things (by the unskilled people we often want to education) to over-simplify and further leave them unskilled in expression via the classic 1 or 0 extreme type of 'only this or that' or only best scenario is this.

Said with love for getting it just right / super-tuning 😃
