Life is series of script

In my last post, I talked about life is not a series of scripts, like
the movies, to follow. I needs to be corrected. Life IS a series of
scripts that people follows, it is whether a person see/knows the
script. To be precise, it is whether a person have the experience to
sense/detect/read the script (i.e. situation) and responds in a way
such that the other party follows without knowing.

My change of mind came from conversation I have with a friend over
coffee and a article I read today (see below).

(# is the original questions, apologies for the original question as
they are more IT related, my attempt at a non-IT version are written
below.):

# Which do you prefer: manifest or latent types? Why?
Which do you prefer, clear instruction or general guideline? Why?

# What commenting style do you think is appropriate? Why?
What speaking style do you think is appropriate? Why?

# What sort of documentation artifacts do you like to produce? Why?
What sort of drawings do you like to produce? Why?

# Do you think exceptions are good, or bad? Why?
Do you think not following the law is good, or bad? Why?

These questions will tell you a lot. A fresher won't understand many
of the questions. A bullshit artist will answer "It depends," and grin
"knowingly". Another kind of bad prospect will be opinionated but
can't defend their arguments cogently. A good prospect might say, "It
depends," and then set up contrasting scenarios.

The answer tells me a lot about the person knowledge and life
experiences. Taking the principle further, the manner of asking can
be used in variety of situation and scenarios other than IT.
