@Yeahright It’s silly because it’s hypothetical, and thus you have to make unstated assumptions in order to answer it. Because the assumptions are usually unstated, or not fully stated (indeed, people usually aren’t even aware of the assumptions they make), the answers are not understandable or interpretable except in a very impressionistic way. Therefore people may feel like they are gaining knowledge or information, but they aren’t. It’s all bogus, and we have no choice but to give bogus answers. Hence, the question is silly.
Now don’t get me wrong. I love silly questions and I always answer them. They are fun. They are fun because they are silly. But it always bears remembering that we are answering a silly question, especially when people start to act as if they are taking it seriously.
It’s almost impossible to imagine a situation where you would take a job. We don’t know whether people have the skills. We don’t know what salary they require and how much they are being paid now and what they are doing now for that work. We don’t know what they think of the work, and even if they can do it.
You, for example, don’t think the job requires special skills. You severely underestimate what is done, in my opinion. There is a lot of special knowledge you need to have to do the job. You have to take on flutherhead in order to do it. That might require a Faustian bargain for you, or it might not. I don’t know you. But you have to make some legalistic determinations a lot of the time and that requires you think in a very specific way. Not just anyone can do that.
