Its probably the Philosphy Class...

that I am taking that allows me to be more objective. For instance, we are discussing the Traditionalist VS Nontraditionalist thinkers of the 5th century Greece. Traditionalist - Do not like change. They are very protective of the status quo and their criteria for truth is:Authority. Authority in this case in the knowledge that AMG alone made "the" vehicle known as the HAMMER.
On the otherhand Non traditionalist- beleive in CHANGE.
They are more open minded and their criteria for truth is rooted in REASON. As such, one has to use one's high reasoning and comprehisive skills to believe something that is against all that he has been taught. In this case, its should be accepted(albeit with a grain of salt) there there does exist the possibility that a car in this case the 560SEL, made by MB was coined the Hammer by R/T BEFORE the car that was created by AMG. And it is therefore also reasonable to assume that AMG took advantage of the name and the marketing/ publicity etc. that already existed and coined their car the HAMMER.......named in honor, if you will, of its MB brothering. Turns out that in a lot of ways the thinking of the 5th century Greeks isn't much different than that of 21 Century Internet citizens
