Common sense, in these times shows you to not open emails from
strangers
especially with *.zip files unless they are coming from a known party
based on
some kind of dialog prior to it being sent and received.

Common sense always loses when fighting against the promise of dancing
hampsters.

Empirically speaking, common sense does not appear to
be common at all.  ;-)


Quite so; as I always like to say:

"Common sense is not a common virtue"[1]
