What came out of her mouth was but one of many things that polarized folks. I suspect that if her beauty had not been part of that complex, the rest wouldn't have been so polarizing.
Many results in life come from a complex of causes � not from any single cause alone, though any single cause in the complex can significantly contribute to the result.
A sudden gust of stiff wind, say, breaks a tree where it's weakened by a pocket of rot. Those whose "thinking" is so primitive that they must isolate and concentrate on "the" single cause disagree �
(a) one concludes that the cause was the vigor of the wind �
(b) one concludes that the cause was the sudden shift in the speed of the wind �
(c) one concludes that the cause was the pocket of rot having weakened the tree.
Who'd be right? Who'd be wrong?
