It depends. The blog post says that Ziad was tired and under a jet-lag and unprepared. In my opinion, having said that you speak n languages, the reservation that you wouldn't necessarily speak all of the n languages whenever asked and under any emotional condition all of the time would in some cases be reasonable. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I can't agree with that.
I'm an insomniac and I can still understand English perfectly after not sleeping for 48 hours and being in a bad mood. It's nothing but wishful thinking... Ziad got caught out... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When sufficiently tired, I can misunderstand English more often than when wide awake, though I still usually get it right. For other languages, depending on how well I know them and how much I've dealt with them when tired, the situation is a big uglier. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What's the time-zone difference between Rio de Janeiro and Santiago?
Can't be more than a couple of hours. Jet-lag? Come on. Edit: there's only a one hour difference in time zones. Edited by Walshy on 18 September 2009 at 12:03pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Guys, let's try not to make it another "Ziad Fazah bashing" thread.

The thing that sucks ,Jiwon, is that the people who support this guy offer bogus intellectual reasoning as to why he FAILED.
I have no dishonesty to be ashamed of. Ziad and the people who blindly support him do. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't support him either, but we already have a thread that's been closed because of too much Ziad bashing. If you can't help it, at least don't make it sound so blatant. There are ways to diss someone more subtly. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
