		raganwald on April 9, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The "one pair of glasses" theory Once every three months or so FSJ says something that makes people laugh and think (the rest of the time he settles for just making people laugh). This one struck me as summing a well-known phenomenon up rather well, and with a catchy phrase to go along with it.

I think it already had a catchy phrase: "If your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like nails."

This phrase has the added benefit of explaining the point.

Agreed. The FSJ thing takes a lot of words to say the same. Maybe its a bit of a grab for credibility.
