What's the Hair Color of Your Dream Lover? Why?
About Human Conceits
by David Rudd Cycleback

For this page a conceit is defined as a false, artificial, arbitrary, contrived and/or overly simplified rule or set of rules used to explain the way things are or they way they are supposed to be. A conceit is often made to give an answer where the real answer is unknown or to give a simple, convenient answer to a complicated situation.
