Since we've had some discussion - pro and con - about proposed changes in regulatory reporting of business results, I became curious of a statement I've heard all my life. "Giving benefit of the doubt." Did I really understand it?

So I went to the internet for an explanation. Here's what I found:

""Giving someone the benefit of the doubt" means choosing to believe a person's statement or intent is honest and good, even when there is uncertainty, evidence to the contrary, or a reason to be suspicious. It is a conscious decision to trust someone rather than assume the worst."

So " ... choosing to believe a person's statement or intent is honest and good, even when there is uncertainty, evidence to the contrary, or a reason to be suspicious." is the issue under discussion.

I guess some of us just differ on our choices.

I just deleted a Post I wrote contributing my 2 cents to this discussion. But then I realized it was off-topic and deleted it.

You're welcome.
