The problem with resolving to not do stupid things is that one’s resolution is circumvented by one’s inability to know at the time that a thing is stupid.

Speaking as an expert here, we do stupid things because we think we are doing something ordinary, but we are unaware that we are overlooking the information that will tell us that what we are doing is stupid.

Case in point; the recent attempted child-snatching in which the escaping perpetrator tried to elude pursuit by going into a house through a doggy-door.

Perhaps he failed to consider that the reason this residence had a doggy-door was because they had dogs.

... one’s inability to know at the time that a thing is stupid.

I've refined the instruction (for those with more mental powers than Frank): "Don't do anything think I will think was stupid."

They all know what that means. It's like, "Clean the bathroom as if I had done it." It eliminates variability in one's personal definition of "clean."
