What's the old joke? - show a plumber a problem, and it will be a plumbing problem.

Likewise, I believe that most people will find in that "story" something that reinforces their existing viewpoint (imho).
I'm sure that's true but the only opinion it has formed for me is that the story is flawed. And that couldn't have been my opinion before since I didn't know the story.

And I normally enjoy parables, Jesus brand or any other.
