I'm pretty good at being cautious.
I just disagree with judging folks based on appearance alone.
I'm getting more pushback from the other side of that argument than I had hoped for here.
That bums me out.
I'd agree on the appearance alone - in most cases. Realistically though, there are also the really obvious ones.

Which is why I think you have to look at the totality of any given situation. Appearance, location/setting, behavior, context, etc. And usually, it isn't any one thing that sets people's hair on end. Nor do most people actively go over a checklist or observe for any long period of time. But when multiple things standout from the get-go, I can't fault anyone for erroring on the safe side.
