The defining moments

Hold on. I have an arrière pensée o'er here. There are many a interesting moments in classes here at ISB, that one really starts thinking about not missing them. [high cost ssociated with each in terms of content and $$$ adds to that resolve].
Of particular interests are the ones where one learn some real-life funda from those Prof's insightful and worth contemplating one-liners [will cover them in some later post]. Still others are those where a student, intentionally or unintentionally, comes out with a class-participative remark, with it's own stamp of class.

In today's eco class, we had such a 'defining' moment.
Our new eco prof, has an inclination towards asking for difference of opinions and then refuting that with his own reasoning.
There was this game model going on and the example was such that there are two products - Red and Blue and the market consists of Red-Lovers and Blue-Lovers.
Now for a certain scenario, prof asked for some difference of opinion to what he had just said. There was this guy, who raised his hand....got a chance to explain.... and guess what was the only reason his gave - 'Love is irrational' :-)

And, for the first time we found Prof to be at loss of words.... he tried hard to come about with some reasoning so that he could refute that...but was clearly at a loss of words...finally admitting - 'Well...I can't counter anything with an opening line like this' :-)
The whole class burst into peals of laughter and desk-banging...it was a great moment...!

Well, the way it stands unrefuted, does it mean that love is actually irrational?
One may like to explore the thought further, but for Section-C of the Class of 2007 at ISB, it surely is.
