Well, I was referring more to the situation where you're already reading something, or finished reading it. Obviously there is an opportunity cost that you could have sought out something better to read, but now that you're there - take what you can from it. In my experience a lot of people will dismiss an entire article based on one wrong fact or crazy opinion.

And when extended to people - just because someone says something stupid or wild doesn't mean everything they say is that way.
