I prefer talking about things that are important to me. It does not matter to me who hit the most homeruns in the 1980s and I can't well imagine making a connection talking about it.



OK so in your case replace baseball with pokemon or anime or whatever your thing is.


If my thing is pokemon or anime, then I want to know the right answer, and it is not a meaningless thing anymore!

The "ultimately the answer wasn't important" part of your comment mystifies me. If the answer is not important, why even talk about it?


If you re-read my original comment and still don't understand the importance of leisurely bullshitting with friends, then I probably can't help explain it better.
