A Deduction Following An Observation:
Seizing the opportunity to socialize with an assumedly-intelligent infant of 16-weeks age, I observed an unnatural attention by said infant to the large screen LED TV on mute.
Preliminary deduction:
I think there may be something going on between humans and screens that we don't understand, let alone fully recognize.
So I'm thinking to myself I should turn that bouncy chair thing he's in to face away from that thing.
Preliminary deduction 2:
The screen is bad for kids.
Now what? He's looking at me. So I look back at him.
Deduction:
The beneficial human potential offered by the innate capacity for face-to-face interactions in infants and children is under threat.
