I was assuming that by “interact” in the great-grandparent you meant more substantive stuff than passing each other on the street. If you weren’t, my point still stands: Bayesian logic requires one to have an opinion about strangers passing in the street, but only in the way it requires one to have an opinion about the triple point pressure of copper.
I somehow doubt that “opinion” in “If you already have an opinion on someone you’ve just met, based on appearances only, before you’ve bothered getting to know them” was meant to include stuff as vague as “they’re probably not going to mug me”, but whatevs—tapping out.

And hope they don’t mug you as you do, for starters.
