Amusing, and welcome to Psychology 101. Finding out how other people work and think has always been a passion of mine--hence, majoring in psychology--but running across such broad statements definately happens. Particularly when professors pose very clever questions about internal conceptualization, like "Do deaf people think in words? Everyone thinks in words. What do they think in, signs?" that sort of fail to make much sense for the low percentile of the class who do not mostly think in words either, and aren't deaf. I think waywind mentioned it, but it might be an interesting exercise to compare and contrast for your own notes. For me I've found it immeasureably useful for learning to read "normal" people and it can be a very good predictive tool that way, realizing if you're reacting X way to a situation, they're reacting Y way, and proceeding from there. Nifty, and it freaks people out when you tell them what they're thinking ;)
