A comment on Observations from People Watching.

The author draws overall conclusions based on observations at wedding parties.

I've know very many (techies) that are extremely introvert and yes, bored, in such an environment, yet when you would observe them at evening drinks at a tech conference, they would be engaged, open, interested, welcoming and kind.

I fear the author overextrapolates from a specific context to people across contexts.

Isn’t this simply recognizing that people are not fixed points? The same person who is open and happy at one time could certainly be bored at another.

It does not seem to me that the author claims otherwise.
