If there are blues, greens, reds and oranges and when you are dealing with a orange you want to label them as either blue or green and label them green because you are blue you are not going to have them be happy with the label.
This statement “Affirms the antecedent”. If I saw SMB and toolboxism as blue vs. green conflict , then yes I would label any position into either category. However, there are other reasons I might categorize my friend as a toolboxist. In this case, his beliefs match the definition of toolboxism given in the linked post “There is no one correct way to arrive at the truth (...) The only way to get better at finding the correct answer is through experience and wisdom, with a lot of insight and luck, just as one would master a trade such as woodworking.” His interpretation of multiple intelligences, as each adapted to their own field of endeavor and non-transferrable, matches the the definition (Tristanm has a SMB interpretation of multiple intelligences which I prefer)
No, if you override emotions as the motivating factor for actions with intellectual guidelines that can harmful even if the intellectual guidelines are based on patterns that exist.
I disagree. People “override emotions” all the time with intellectual guidelines. For example, bankers exponentially discount when they want to hyperbolically discount. I might want to buy a girl a drink, but realize that doing so would offend her, so I don’t.
I see that Tristanm and EY use different definitions of Toolboxism, which might explain some of the confusion.
