"Makes common sense"!? They don't even speak english. Common sense is a noun. Not a statement of reason. "It makes sense." Is a statement of reason. "It makes common sense." Is a statement of creation. What makes common sense? Reason that dictates reality. Water is wet. That is common sense. Water is wet because it is made of molecules that form a liquid. That is a statement of reason that makes sense.

I get triggered whenever someone claims it's "common sense" because it's always a manipulation to get the other person to shut up. You know, like the funny Progressive commercial where Flo is in the 1950s and the guy says, "Shut up, men are thinking." And in my experience, a good 99% of the time, when someone says "It's just common sense" it's everything BUT that.
