This is a fact that I tend=20 to forget just too easily as well. You probably didn't intend it, but your sentences at the top can be rea= d=20 more like: "This is a logical consequence. If you don't understand=20 that, your mental capabilities must be lacking.". That's obviously=20 (ha!) a rude thing to say. Also, and I'm sure you didn't know that, "Jedem das Seine" (to each his= =20 own) was the slogan of the Buchenwald concentration camp. For that=20 reason some (including me) hear the unspoken cynical half-sentence "and= =20 some people just have to be sent to the gas chamber" when someone uses=20 this proverb. No accusations intended, just trying to answer your question from my=20 point of view. Ren=C3=A9
