I had a futile discussion with a young friend of mine at a ThG party this weekend who was remodeling her kitchen but wouldn't listen to any idea that challenged her limited idea of how a kitchen had to work and how it had to be laid out. Ironically, this young woman is a PhD who prides herself, normally, for being able to think "outside the box".
