Useful New Word: Half-pinion
1st July 2019
Scott Adams gives us a useful new word: “These are what I call ‘half-pinions’. A half-pinion is where you just look at the cost of something, or just look at the benefit, and you just sort of pretend that the other stuff doesn’t exist.”
We see a lot of that these days, especially among ‘activists’.

Low-resolution thinking. Is there a better word we can coin? Halfpinion, piecepinion, partpinion, . Rather than saying ‘from my point of view’, people could say ‘from my piece of view’ or ‘from my portion of view’.

I prefer ‘point of view’ — remember that a point has neither breadth nor depth.
