	There is a point at which you make a decision, perhaps 
unconsciously, about where you invest your mental energy. There is a 
point at which you end up being dismissive because you recognise the 
pattern, recognise the speaker, and its just human nature.
	The moral of the story of the boy who cried wolf is not to 
lie, even though tragedy could also have been prevented if everyone 
always listened to the boy and acted every time.
