In many normal circumstances, I am entitled to disagree with people about who or what they are.

Someone might think they're charming, and I might find them a great bore.

It's obvious in this example that equivocating that with deciding for that person, anything at all, is asinine.

Most social settings, and all professional ones, require that I be more polite to this "charming" person than I would otherwise be inclined to, given my own feelings on that subject.

There is something to be learned here.
